My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Obvious Beehaw bias but I don't get the whole weirdness about defed. Like maybe it's a hammer where some problems are screws, but elegant solutions are for people with VC funding.

It can seem authoritarian or an overreaction of you don’t know why the decision was made.

Once a critic learns that defederating was a last-choice decision reluctantly made because of inadequate mod tools and a small, overwhelmed staff, things make more sense. If they still want to complain after that, I just walk away. Sometimes people have already decided to be angry regardless of what the facts are, and debate never helps in those situations.

There's also just a lot of "if it gets repeated enough it enters the collective consciousness as truth" where regardless if someone just casually observing sees the same thing over and over and just assumes the popular take must be the truth. The willfully ignorant poison the narrative for the casual observer, and now there's a set narrative divorced from what the original reasoning was

I just read that:

You see beehaw users complaining about not having access to [email protected] , because while there is [email protected] , it has two posts that are 2 months old
