I was looking at Lemmy instances and noticed that, at the time of this post, Beehaw has blocked 387 other instances … including lemmy.world. This is more than any other instance with no other instance with more than 5 users comes even close to blocking so many. Does anybody know the rationale behind the decision to block so many instances?
Beehaw Instances for those wanting to see who they are blocking.
Beehaw made an announcement recently stating they were experiencing a lot of trolls and other mod related issues. I’m new to this whole thing so I honestly didn’t understand (and still don’t) some aspects of these systems. But, from what I got, it might have to do with limited moderation power and dealing with trolls or something like that.
Forgot to attach the announcement https://beehaw.org/post/567170
