A three panel meme of someone riding a bike.
- First panel: Someone riding on a bike. "Reddit is imploding, quick let's get on Lemmy"
- Second panel: The bike starts to tip over on its own. "Oh shit there's too many of us, we're being defederated?"
- Third panel: They've fallen on the ground by the bike, holding their knee in pain. "Fucking Beehaw"
I'm not on beehaw, but I'm also not on an instance defederated from beehaw
I read the list of instances blocked by beehaw, and I've gotta say you're not missing anything
I use Lemmy.world regularly and I have never seen any toxic content. Also, most of the instances have very loose requirements to join so why did it only decide to defederate 2 instances?
If people properly understood the Fediverse and the fact that there are a lot of instances (or communities if you prefer) that cater to certain subject matter and discussion types, this whole attack upon Beehaw would be moot.
Why can't some people grasp the fact that there are people who want civil and friendly discussions in a welcoming community? I'll tell you who, those Redditors that made Reddit toxic in the first place!
