My main problem is, that the community I started gets less exposure now. That would be fine, if it was just people on instances like lemmygrad, where people congregate with whom I won't get along, anyway. But the beehaw people are not bad folks.
Heck, even an alt account of a tankie on a different instance might behave completely differently when they're not associated with the tankie account (hence no peer pressure).
With how things stand right now, I can't even do mod things remotely without bugging the community out, so while I personally am not tied to any instance, the community is, and right now, I'm hampered, too, whenever I wear the moderator hat.
I hope there's gonna be solutions for this some day, that let us move instances around. Communities are the reason people don't go elsewhere, it's probably also the reason many redditors don't leave that place.
mind telling me why beehaw defederated?
They don't want to federate to any instance that has open registration policies. They defederated just because of that since it can bring more bots, and bad actors than strict registrations, like they do where you need a 400 word essay on the fediverse and why you want to join beehaw.
doesn't beehaw suffer from lack of content then?
