Also, ML is just statistics and calculus.

It's also worth noting the statistics are only for what you consumed. My profile at beehaw shows very different numbers than yours

Yep, but its only the Metadata[1]. I can't log in to your instance, but because your instance has consumed content from beehaw from my account I'm listed.

1. at least I haven't been able to share logins between instances yet.

This is where the fediverse is both powerful and a bit of a challenge to moderate. The best way to deal with these things is to be vigilant in sharing information that supports the contrary; since there's no real way to filter out bad information unilaterally (and even if so, I'd find that to be a dangerous precedence as who constitutes "good" and "bad" across the federated instances).

While the post was quite toxic towards the admins, the opinion of the user was done in what I see as exasperation at the situation without necessarily understanding the logic of these choices made for the beehaw instance as a whole; so there's an opportunity to redirect them to a different path or understanding. I'm aware that there are likely several others who share this opinion and may learn from this (just taking a moment to review some of the kbin.socal and lemmy.world threads on this subject shows this as a common concern). Moderation and intervention is more about systemic patterns of an individual's behavior that clashes with a community's ethos. Following the ethos of our admins, we take a measured response based on history and engagement.

As for now, things appear to have resolved through disengagement, so mission accomplished: we got the information out there and addressed their concern (and possibly inform other lurkers and the various instances that federate with us on this point).

I don't know why, but this article made me think of blind drive, the game

While the breach is unfortunate, I always enjoy these kind of posts where a seemingly innocent exploration on what a site is doing and "what if" questioning becomes a chain of "holy crap, what did we just find". Just shows that your data can be just one curl statement away from being lost.

Hey people, we're trying to keep things tidy at beehaws technology community and will be delisting this thread.

If you'd like to continue the conversation, feel free to join the megathread at https://beehaw.org/post/576904

There was an unfortunate email glitch where if your username was already present in the instance, it would silently deny your application, and the beehaw admins would be none the wiser. See https://beehaw.org/post/562922

Additionally, there has been some issues with the beehaw's email provider that has recently been fixed and the backlog has started to decrease. See https://beehaw.org/post/604680

Can you explain what you mean by bad experience? I can see how the experience on beehaw would be different from other instances, but what is explicitly bad about it?

1. The account registration process exists to weed out bots. We're not the only ones to implement this kind of sign up. An essay really isn't required, unless you misunderstood the purpose of the sign up.
2. We haven't left the fediverse, posts and comments to and from beehaw still flow to the vast majority of instances, and we do wish to rejoin these two specific instances at a later date once we have the right processes and tools to work though the problems we encountered.
3. If the admins were cocky or snobby, they would have defederated without any form of announcement or transparency on what was being done and why.

Hey Beeple, since there's a common trend on the topics on (de)federation, we made a post to clarify what this means.

You can see the conversation over here: https://beehaw.org/post/615042

This is also correct, and we're hoping we can do so sooner rather than later. 😉
