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.
I actually just created a new account on lemmy.world because of what beehaw did.
They are wanting to create an instance of inclusion that doesn’t risk people feeling like they will be attacked. They are blocking instances where they are noticing “hate” coming from. They are doing it so they don’t have to mod posts coming in to make sure they fit with what they are trying to create.
