@Cattypat@lemmy.world I agree. Even with the right context, it’s mostly difficult to read a text’s tone. So /s still helps.

Honestly not fan of defederation. I believe the answer should be giving users the ability to block instances. Maybe in the future versions of lemmy.
Defederation should be a last resort. Beehaw basically defederates with Anyone and seeks to become a private forum. So the comparison isn’t really on par. You are right of course and I agree wholeheartedly that their choice to isolate is their right. Just that I won’t be making an account there, not that I could considering their strict sign up process.
That said, I have other accounts in other instances. I am wary of joining smaller instances as they could disappear any time, and with it ALL your posts.
I do have a vlemmy one but it has become unusable as of late (not sure what happened to the site) and lemmy.ml which remains unused. I have a lot of pending sign ups with other instances as well, non have replied and I’m tired of having to write essays just to join an instance only to be met with silence (which is why I tend to avoid instances without an open sign up these days).
I haven’t come across sdf.org when I was initially looking for lemmy instances. But thanks for pointing that out. If their sign up process isn’t too much trouble then I might give it a try.
I guess that’s the beauty of the fediverse we can support the instances we want and if nothing fits us we can choose to self host (though with a very high barrier for entry).
EDIT: Just checked out lemmy.sdf.org and it requires an essay as well so I probably won’t waste my time with it. Despite the small amount of defederations that lemmy.world has, it still remains to have the best balance between ease of use and censorship (even nsfw content are allowed here as far as I know)
So unless its stance on not defederating with Threads cause a lot of problems, I probably won’t switch anytime soon.

Personally, I’m thankful that I got into the fediverse a short time after it defederated. I haven’t missed much and I haven’t interacted with it much.
You are right of course. Beehaw is an independent instance and as such reserves the right to moderate their space as they like.
If people really want to access it, they can always just create a separate account on it.
Though reading through their code of conduct here:
https://beehaw.org/post/1042456
It suggests a very controlling and stifling environment that’s not really conducive to open online discussion. And maybe it was intended that way, as a safe space for the “softer” more sensitive people in the internet. And that is respectable.
But it has the potential to be an echo-chamber, the same as what Tildes is. It’s a too sheltered experience that is more suited to private group chats rather than a publicly accessible forum.
In short, bothering with it, especially if you are not this type of target audience is ultimately a drain in energy and an exercise in futility.

I wholeheartedly support NOT engaging with beehaw. Any instance that supports defederation and censorship is an instance NOT worth supporting. The fediverse is supposed to be a refuge of free speech (within reason of course.) If an instance chose to defederate and isolate itself, it deserves the very same isolation it so wanted.
Tldr; beehaw wants to isolate, then give it the isolation it wants.
Have a separate account on burggit.moe and lemmynsfw for this exact reason. Plus a lot of alt accounts on instances that are defederated (different usernames for each).
I don’t know if this is counted but it’s also perfectly reasonable to have accounts on defederated instances. So if this is counted that might inflate the numbers a bit.
I was a bit surprised myself. I’m a lurker on reddit but addicted to lemmy. Can’t explain it. But I’m glad I’m here to witness this. :)
Woah good catch. Sorta just skimmed the article when looking for a good youtube article.
This video came to my feed just today and I was thinking what would be a good place to archive youtube videos.
The fact that some youtube creators are deleting their content and channels without an archive somewhere is not only tragic but also worrying.
This! We all mourn at our own pace. Some people may still be at the anger stage.
