Not everyone is willing to switch platforms that easily. You can't always be idealistic.

It's too early to say I think. We all think the most active posters have left but only time will tell if the content left on reddit is sufficient.

Well yeah it's kinda cool but the novelty will wear off. It's useful sometimes but it's not a magic elixer.

oh no! they have all the posts that people publicly posted onto the Internet!

Every post that you make validates my decision to join this instance. Thanks for the hard work!

just a typical tourist itinerary.

Thank you for doing this. I have been watching the user stats, and it's very clear which instances are being targeted.

Defederation should only be considered when there is a potential for serious damage to the community. Given the volume of spambots (there are a few small instances with >10,000 new "users"), defederation is the right solution in these cases. No amount of extra mods can help delete comments from tens of thousands of spambots. If it's a more manageable number of bad actors, then defederation should not be used (looking at you, beehaw).

I don't know if you want to comment publicly, but I remember seeing some discussion with the lemmy devs over implementation of captcha. Was that resolved?

Uh... there's so many things wrong here lol

curious, are there other kbin "instances", like how lemmy has many?

I would personally choose one or two of the biggest, most active ones, and then cross-post.

Quantity comes first, then quality.

everyone thinks they are special.

In a frantic tone, she declared all of this process to be nonsense (nonsense we had to work with over the last 7 months, so yeah, no shit) and all but ordered me to send her the password manually to her private phone number.

Execs always want security for everyone else except them.

I blame them for not trying anything else.

This is like... Getting a flu and deciding to chop off their nose.

I just found out about this and it's very disheartening. I can see trolls being a valid problem but the solution is more mods. What beehaw did is very detrimental to the health of the fediverse, especially in the most crucial month. With two of the largest instances split from each other, it'll be twice as hard to grow a critical mass of content.

I'm blocking all beehaw communities myself. I don't want to contribute to a instance where the admins are selfish.

I've seen that before on reddit

Luddites, all of them

I don't get why a nonprofit would actively stop their VOLUNTEERs from helping.

it's already free labour... what do you want?

i think i remember reading the original (or a similar story) before, good one!

I think it’s entirely possible that they will keep defederating instances which grow beyond a certain point, and lemm.ee might reach that size soon as well.

isn't lemmy.world like... 20x our instance?

i'm new here but i was on reddit for a long time, and was around during the attempted voat migration.

the main obstacle to a new platform succeeding is that you need a critical mass of content. Of all the people who join, only 10% or so will be actively posting, the rest are just here to consume.

beehaw had a lot of activity, and a few of their subs got to what I consider a critical mass for good discussion. and now they've gone rogue.

I understand the mods had a hard time, but... seriously, this is a huge blow to the fediverse. of all the actions anyone could have done, they've done the most damage to the success of the fediverse, right at a time when growth and activity here is crucial.

I can't help but think the mods could have asked for help moderating. it's a sad sad situation.

i'm personally not going to contribute there anymore, because I want the fediverse as a whole to take off.
