Beehaw seems to have already developed a plan to put everyone they do not like into predefined boxes so they can call those boxes bad and exclude them. Today they were discussing banning “pedantic” users - people asking questions in bad faith, in their opinion. This kind of subjective moderation is what is wrong with reddit. Beehaw is not even federated, last time I checked. You have to fill out a literal application to join. This is not new-user friendly. So that’s how I ended up here.
Have people not learned anything from their reddit experience? Beehaw is extremely massive fed flags. Its literally the same exact toxic behavior that the uber mods that hoarded subreddits and got off from power would have.
Its not a good look and im shocked people support it…
The difference is WHO FUCKING CARES? Do you not fucking get it? The fucking fediverse is not yours, mine, or theirs. If they don’t want to be a part of it they DON’T FUCKING HAVE TO.
This is as stupid as shitting yourself in furious anger that a Linux user would dare to use Linux for mathematical computing instead of serving web pages because CLEEEEARLZY there’s only one way to use the software and that’s the way that you, Stumbler, personally choose to use it.
Are you even aware that there are instances that aren’t federated? At all? Anywhere? Because you can do that. Because it’s just software and who gives a shit how anyone else chooses to use it?
How about you fucking relax? I was simply stating my criticsm and explaining that I don’t get it. I didin’t police anyone, I didint insult anyone, I just said from my point of view it makes no sense. Yet you handle a small criticsm with the social skills of a tantruming child…
Blow yourself some more. Your criticism is 100% invalid and you obviously have no fucking clue what’s going on, anywhere, in any context. You’re probably confused about the status of your socks, old man. I knew a guy! He wasn’t either.
At the time I signed up Lemmy.World was pretty small, I just wanted an instance that wasn’t .ml and had better policies… As it turned out the modlog is very transparent and they were deleting posts critical of the CCP/Russia. So I left and made an account on World.
It seems World was a good choice… Although now that it struggles with the amount of users it seems it might be worth setting an alt up on another instance just to help me out when it gets too busy over here.
Yep! I added wefwef to my home screen where Apollo was (still installed but moved to an honoring folder). My workflow and habits are now unchanged and I feel like I’m on reddit, only federated. 🙂
I came here from Apollo for Reddit. There’s a web app called wefwef that is a lemmy client that literally looks and works EXACTLY like Apollo. It even has apollo json import to find similar communities. Anyway, .world is the first server listed in the list so it’s where I registered.
When Lemmy.ml was still on top I initially tried to sign up and was unable to. They could not handle the influx when the first migration occurred during the blackout days.
When I was joining ~a month ago the situation was very different
I tried lemmy.one - had some issues joining
I saw beehaw.org - no downvotes - not my jam
I saw lemmygrad.ml - too political for my tastes
I saw sopuli.xyz - most of local posts and server maintenance posts were in language I don’t speak - maybe I can find something fitting me more?
I saw lemmy.world - small but not looking like private, in Europe, so pings should be ok and description seemed fine
I also saw lemmy.ml - seemed like the main instance with the most users - having some understanding of federation from Mastodon migration I decided to spread the load…
A reddit user made a list of alternative services for reddit. The list was .world, .ml and bee. At this point i didn’t know it’s the same decentralised service. I picked the first one, liked it and made an account after a few days.
Regardless of the how, I think it’s really cool that the top instance isn’t run by the devs. Really shows off the power and appeal of decentralized services.
