Yeah i blocked all beehaw communities so they don’t show up for now - not out of bad blood or anything, but just so I don’t accidentally comment in a place where it wont be read.
Beehaw only has a very limited number of communities anyway, so i see this as a good way to build up the equivalent communities (news, tech etc) elsewhere.
The client software should display something to indicate that the thread one is replying to sits on a defederated server. Then one can make an informed choice of moving on or replying to a local copy, with the consequences that entail
More people need to understand this. “Defederate” is a big scary word, and carries the negative connotations of “cutting contact because I don’t want anything to do with you people.” But in this case it’s not that at all, it’s more of a “we’re overgrown and want to prioritize quality over size, so while moderation stuff’s in development, we’re just gonna isolate in our little paradise for a while.” Which is fine. That’s the purpose of decentralisation - the community chooses what to do with itself.
Wanna be a positive, high-quality, highly moderated group kinda separate from the rest? You can do that (beehaw).
Wanna be a bunch of tankies circle jerking over pictures of Stalin? Sure Everyone will defederate from you and call you weird… But you can do that too! (Lemmygrad)
And wanna keep more of the traditional “Reddit” feel from before they got money-crazed and feel apart? Join Lemmy world (even though beehaw keeps their distance for now).
Defederation isn’t a weapon - it’s a tool.
And for me? I’m just sitting here on pawb.social, with reddit’s furry haters finally gone, watching both Lemmy.world and beehaw … And everything else because we don’t defederate much. (Except Lemmygrad. We’ll defederate that. Wouldn’t touch that with a 20 metre pole…)
