This just sounds like too much work to me. I mean to each their own, so rock in if that’s what works for you. I just know I’d end up forgetting which account I was subbed into, and within the course of 1-2 months my communities would be a mashed up mess.

Well, see, nazis hate Jews (and people of color, and leftists, and…), and LGBT people, uh, well, you see, they uh… anyway you can’t block one and not block the other. See what I mean?

/s. Also, fuck off nazi punks.

…the Beehaw users seem to be generally happy with the change.

Maybe? I honestly don’t know, but it seems like it would be hard for them to tell…? If I understand things correctly, Beehaw defederates (what a word…) and now no one sees posts / communities from, say, sh.itjust.works, right? So no one really knows what they’re missing if they’re on Beehaw? Please correct me if I’m wrong, as that could easily be the case.

Yes.

I just hope OP doesn’t break both arms while they’re out doing… whatever it is they’re going to be doing.
