No, we are not getting any Beehaw posts from Beehaw, and nobody outside of lemmy.world can see any of the posts in question.

The only time we see any posts that say Beehaw, it's because someone from lemmy.world is trying to post there. Nobody on Beehaw, and nobody on any other instance can see them.

Go to another instance and check the Beehaw communities. Posts created from lemmy.world aren't there.

No, check from another Lemmy instance. Those posts aren't there.

I just tried browsing [email protected] from another instance and I don't see this post. Since this post never made it to Beehaw, I don't think other instances are picking it up. They only pull lemmy.world posts from lemmy.world.

Yeah, way fewer people will be willing to put in the effort modding if they can just be voted out. And subreddits that are supposed to represent minority opinions will just get voted out by the opposition.

The reason they gave is that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works have open registration and a lot of combined users.

Guess who else has open registration and a growing number of users?

Watch out...

Also, discussion of modern varieties of Nahuatl is welcome and encouraged.

Hola, amigo. El contenido en español es bienvenido aquí.

Yeah, but then is Beehaw just going to defederate with every instance that has open registration or limited vetting, past a certain user threshold?

That includes lots of instances. Kbin.social has open registration and is growing, for example.

At that point, is a federated social network really what served their goals?

Yes, but in their post they wrote about how the large influx of users from other instances made their specific goals too hard to accomplish.

It wasn't a philosophical difference with lemmy.world, which is a case that federation would have worked well with, it was simply that there were enough new users that they couldn't maintain the tighter moderation that they want. And that's fine, they have the right to administer their instance however they'd like, but if they are having trouble with new users from lemmy.world then they're going to have trouble with any federation with enough cumulative users.

Beehaw has good intentions, but I don't know if those intentions are entirely compatible with the fundamental architecture of Lemmy.

They basically already sell that for apocalypse preppers, and that's essentially how it's advertised.
