Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

I think the mods have expressed that this was more of a decision driven by the lack of efficient modding tools as of the moment. Of course, also taking into consideration that they really do want to stay true to their ethos in the first place. I personally feel better interacting within Beehaw because the community is headed in a healthier direction as opposed to just being another reddit dupe/reddit refugee camp
That's valid. The news worries me in terms of Lemmy's growth and success, but simultaneously it's exactly what the Fediverse was designed for. Communities are able to determine what their boundaries are. I guess my issue is that Beehaw had the largest communities for many different topics and now they've cut the second largest instance off from those communities. In the long run what that means is that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works are probably going to recreate those communities themselves. Since those are going to end up invariably being larger communities, it means beehaw's versions of those communities are probably going to empty out and become ghost towns comparatively.
Possibly and that’s the beauty of it. People will stay for different reasons and it seems that the standard of good-faith interactions on Beehaw will make a certain demographic stay. It’s not so difficult to exist in two different instances anyway especially because those two that you mentioned have open registration. We’ll just have to see how it goes moving forward
That demographic being people who think they're better than others? There are nice people on lemmy.world too, you know. I've already seen you call people refugees in a kind of condescending manner. Practise what you preach mate... good luck with Beehaw.
Whenever I hear about such decisions, I fear we might end up with a "netsplit" like event in the Fediverse at one point.
This is that event. Lemmy, Beehaw, and Works represent ~50% of the active lemmy userbase right now... all of which are experiencing a service disruption. The network is functionally broken.
Sure, they're allowed to do that. It's their community. I haven't seen any issues myself in lemmy.world, it's been pretty welcoming to me so far.
I have to say, the sociology of this is kinda fascinating. It's like we're all part of different countries and the nationalism is already starting to crop up.
I think some instances have a stronger sense of "nationalism" than others. Beehaw is one of those. I think us over here on Kbin also have a strong Kbin bias lol. Not sure how yall Lemmy folk feel.
