yeah, but if you're an anarchist then I just don't get it. how can you hold someone to a rule or have any opinion on the quality of the rules when you've already decided that all rules are stupid and you're not following any of them (unless you maybe are just following some in order to stay out of jail because reality exists outside of our internal priorities)
tldr version is beehaw doesn't like Lemmy world
can't users from any other instance already do this?
beehaw blocks world so they can't see each other but users from other instances can still see both. I'm currently on lemmy.one and I'm subbed to comms at both beehaw and LWorld.
they only problem i see is for users in those specific instances as they can't see one another, but everyone else can see both.
i think the result here is that beehaw will be limiting itself. probably fine as they are overwhelmed right now anyway. it seems that's what they wanted to do from the start as well. if they begin blocking even more instances things will get smaller for them.
but hey, that's the beauty of the fediverse. if you want an instance that does exactly what you want then go for it. make your own. link to whoever you want and block whoever you want
speaking of that, are users getting more ways to block instances and communities? I'd like to have all the tools to customize my feed. there's no AI doing it for me (which is good) so i need the ability to do it myself
it's my understanding that you won't make a full copy of everything. you'll only copy the communities that are added and you won't be copying the full history.
I'm unsure how far back it goes but it might be just the one day. i saw talk of changing it to go back as far as someone actually scrolled and pressed next but that was just an idea at this point.

shortcut to the spicy bits
tldr, it's actually more private than Reddit in most ways
probably because a hashtag is already a thing that means something else in other apps. making hashtag mean a community here would give it 2 meaning depending on the app and that's not user friendly cause people will make mistakes if they move between apps.
therefore a new character was chosen for communities to avoid such confusion
communities, I call them comms for short
they are realizing that if they want to maximize profits they don't actually need to maximize users.
it's the "main Lemmy"
wow, to think that an outlandishly rich fairytale character has been wildly out matched by a boring dystopia
works with Firefox
only downside is that if you choose to install fire multiple instances the admins need to have customized their setting because Lemmy defaults to always be called Lemmy
