Yeah this is definitely a risk if this platform keeps growing. I can definitely see this being a reason to switch off downvotes (some instances have already)

Just to say that I didn't edit anything to sensationalise it, the headline is the title.

As a member of Beehaw I haven't seen any reason not to trust them so far. They've been transparent about why it was done and they've spoken with other instance admins.

Think we have to be conscious that this is all still at an early stage and generally it's wise to give people the benefit of the doubt at first. I get the cynicism but this isn't a privatised space- people across lemmy have been constructive and open so far, so maybe give them a chance?

That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

It's not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it's the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it's possible to.

I'm on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

Happy Canada Day!

Brit here (sorry about, well, everything)- how do you guys celebrate?

Whatever you get up to, hope you enjoy 🎉

It's that new colony optimism

I would recommend against doing this because you will end up feeling awful. We poo for a reason. Please be careful.

That said, immodium and low strength codeine both bung you up- depending on where you live you may be able to get both from a pharmacy.

Oh good that's promising. Ultimately this platform generally is only going to work en masse if everyone tries to work with each other. I know they don't have to necessarily, but it's nice to get along

I was going to say that I wish there was a decentralised way of sending messages... And then I remembered text messaging is a thing.

Incredible how quickly these things become embedded in everyday life

I find Jerboa times out quite a lot, never quite sure if my posts go through

Not just them either. Netflix has an ad based tier now and I wouldn't be surprised if other platforms have them too as they realise there's a limit to how much they can realistically charge people. It seems like we've circled back to the start of cable

Yeah I agree. They've been quite open about everything so far and their main issue was the modding implications of open sign up. The tools just don't exist yet to manage it effectively and keep the kind of community they want, so it's just easier to defederate for now until they do. They have a dialogue open with shit just works and said that the admin of lemmy.world hasn't replied to their message, but that it's fine if they don't want to talk too.

I am a bit disappointed that inter-instance sniping has started so early though. I personally am on both instances and am going to try and treat both in good faith for now
