Seriously, hate that now people call everything a meme, they don’t even try to make it at least funny.

And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.

Because it’s a non-issue since you can create a new account inside the blocked instance if you really have to check some community in there, the defederation can be rolled back and there are multiple similar communities through the different instances (or someone could start their own), so losing one of many doesn’t have the same impact as losing the only one.

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

Also the ones who post 10 or more things at the same time in their community every half a day or something and fill the fucking local feed all the day

Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they’ve stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they’ll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.

I miss r/doguelore and r/quiereslore

I swear the shillbots are trying every time the topic comes up

Also if instance A goes down you still have instance B.

Needs more jpeg

Hard disagree, I keep seeing the same news/posts inside and outside Beehaw in other instances that have their own community, sometimes they even have the same name.

Or am I looking at this backwards, and they want their gated garden, absent of slugs?

You could say that, they have said more than once that they want their instance to be their safe-space, which is cool and all, if their users are all up on defederating at the fall of a leaf along with the mods that’s cool, the “problematic” part are the users that join that instance because it’s big but don’t expect them to be like that, because then they have to drop that account and create another in a different instance.
But I’ve said it more than once, until we get migration tools think of your account as disposable or prepare to keep multiple accounts to juggle servers.

That said, I think they would be happier using a forum-like server instead of the fediverse because they seem like the kind of instance to end up isolating themselves.

I still hate websites watermarks, creators watermarks are ok (like comics or art)
