Five of those were from me. Hedging my bets across multiple instances. Can't imagine I'm the only one?
Five?? I just have an nsfw and a sfw one.
Why bother hedging?
As an example, Beehaw just de-federated from lemmy.world and from sh.itjust.works. But since I primarily drop anchor at startrek.website (and since I've replicated my subscriptions across all my accounts), I just flip over to that account and still have access to everything.
Oh? Why did beehaw defederate? Does that mean beehaw is cut off from everyone else?
Expected reasons. Federated systems make moderation more difficult, compounded with poor availability of moderation tools on the platform today. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Damn most of my communities were from beehaw. I didn't join the instance to spare the server load, but now I think I might join it directly since I don't want to make another account on a different instance that may get defederated later on down the line.
Ugh, Beehaw denied my registration so I guess just can't get their content anymore.
You can access their content, but you can't really participate, unless you have an account on one of the instances they're still federated with.
Damn, I just assumed they were screening to ensure real users acting in good faith. Didn't expect them to actually be rejecting people.
I think they're pretty serious about the last essay part.
They had you write an essay good lord thats cringe as fuck.
Why did it leave lemmy.world?
They say because of the open registration and acceptance.
Lol, same
Same here
Not at all, just started on this one in case my main goes down.
