Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.
Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
I thought it was because they lacked the ability to effectively moderate.
That’s correct.
Moderator tools on Lemmy are still super, super basic when compared to Reddit’s. There’s a fair bit of work to be done yet.
To some people having any moderation beyond “just block the trolls yourself lmao” means creating an echo chamber.
Which effectively creates an echo chamber, be it good or bad
If the echo chamber I’m a part of prevents nazi and fascist ideology from becoming normal than I’m all for it.
Excuse me if you misunderstood my initial comment but it doesn’t argue against your statement at all. Again, a good or a bad one, an echo chamber is an echo chamber
