My first account on the fediverse was on Beehaw and I was happy with it, but defederating from two of the largest instances gave me a reason to find a new instance. Personally I understand and respect the decision -that is the point of the fediverse afterall.

They had a lot of good communities that will not be cut off from the fastest growing instances which will make things tough to rebuild I think.

    I’m wondering if some of the other open registration instances (like lemm.ee which this account is on) will be next. If so I’ll have to go through the arduous process of waiting for an application to resolve.

      i would not do that, that is like filling an application for abusive relationship. the inability to create your own community was the first red flag that mods of that instance are maybe little too controlling… further rewarding them for that makes no sense. just wait, people with the content will move elsewhere, if they want to die on island, let them.

      My guess is Kbin is next. Lemm.ee seems small enough right now that hopefully there’s no bad actors. I’m sure a few bad eggs signed up through lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works caused a big enough ruckus to hit the pause button for Beehaw.
