It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it’s generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there’s no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.
For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.
I think it’s healthier this way.
He was joking. Hive mind and Bee -haw. Bees make hive. Source: I do dad jokes too.
I understand the joke lmao, I’m just asking in all honesty.
Beehaw is a Lemmy instance that defederated from a couple of large instances. Lemmy.world being one of them
And they all act like a hive mind, massive circle jerk?
This happened a few weeks ago when a bunch of people from reddit first started hopping over. They gave some reasons for why they were doing it. Like how they want to curate a specific type of instance, keep it smaller, they don’t want people that have very different opinions from them because they want a safe space, moderating was becoming a challenge. Some people from other instances were saying that Beehaw seems like they want a walled garden. It’s too bad because they had some good communities.
So we are just gonna let them do their thing? This sounds like a good opportunity for a sabotage multi-instance lemmy war
Yeah, they can do their thing. If you want to interact with their content you can make an account with them (if they let you in) or make an account on an instance that is still federated with them. If you go to beehaw.org, scroll down to instances at the very bottom right of the screen, then you can scroll the complete list of all federated and blocked instances.
Ah, now I’m beginning to get the zest of it. So any federated instance will let me post comment or view any instance that it’s federated wth. Doesn’t this allow for total isolation of some messed-up instances like the NSFW subreddits
Sure, I guess it could if every single Lemmy instance defederated them or vice versa. I’m still learning too.
Why do you want to just fuck shit up, when you don’t even understand how it works?
Cuz that’s how all wars in human history have begun
