I really hope beehaw is slow to block them, those shitposters are feral

edit: bad news, they say they're not even going to be federating at first and when they do it will probably just be with us :( I wanted to see the confusion from libs interacting with maniacs on that instance

Stuff like their intense struggle sessions are what drove me away. Idk if they have changed it now but when I was over there a lot they had no vetting and no way to IP ban so any trolls could just spam accounts. There's a lot of users that come off as so over the top that I can only assume they are trying to make certain communities look bad. You have to be wary of any community that's and easy target for controversy. And if you go in and try to have a reasonable argument or criticism of any kind you get immediately attacked. I still go there. They have a great news source and good info, but there are definitely bad faith actors.

"Intense struggle sessions" such as policing people for not upvoting their posts enough, importing /r/vegancirclejerk moderators, I'd prefer a cultural revolution style struggle if I had to pick! Not to mention that they have a problem with people using sockpuppets & trolling, which really makes it no better than reddit. I heard the whole vegan debacle pissed off their webcoders but it's not like making a lemmy is hard

Honestly, I'm understating and omitting quite a bit.

Oh I remember the vegan imports. Anyone that so much as mentioned eating meat got harassed. Rabidly. The food com was a warzone. I think I found the Genzedong sub around that time and it was so much.... Quieter. Like going to a peaceful outdoor diner after spending weeks eating at Chucky Cheese.

Importing reddit moderators and telling the community to suck it was really psychopathic
