Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible (self.books)

Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before [email protected] was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!

Calling it "sublemmy" is incredibly cursed

Why did beehaw defederate?

[–] Chainweasel 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They couldn't handle the massive influx of new users and need better moderation tools, they plan to federate again when they get control of the situation.

This plus they specifically didn't like the openness of these communities vs. their more stringent process (since they're trying to create a specific vibe.)

Cowardice it seems.

I checked their instance page and it seems lile they are still federated with lemmy.ml

Sorry, I've fixed it in my post

Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can't deal with the influx of new users from these two instances.

As they say, this is not permanent or about morality.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

all the instances suffer from influx of new users and others don't federate because of trolls... Bad decision i think
