...Unless they do a massive defederation like Beehaw.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's instances that are federated with both though. I'm on one of them.

You've just got to keep in mind that it's not completely clean. Beehaw defederated from 2 of the largest instances making it useless for most users on the site.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Oh for sure. I started at beehaw and ended up on tf because I wanted access to everything.

it's not hard to make an account on other instances

Fine by me, what they did is actually a feature of the Fediverse. People fear what they don't understand and based on comments at the time, there was a lot of misunderstanding.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean beehaw misunderstood or the defederated instances misunderstood?

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Defederated instances took it too personally, it was by design. Beehaw may have jumped the gun acting quickly and we can disagree with their reasoning all we want, but that's their prerogative to isolate/protect the community they have. It's a feature, not a bug.
