spaduf comments on Beehaw defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

In the information thread over on beehaw the moderators specifically state that their ideal is a system wherein they can see and interact with other instances content while disallowing outsiders to see and interact with their content. I actually think under a system where users of other instances can apply to be allowed on beehaw this is a pretty significant gain of function for the threadiverse.

Urgh, but that's gross and power-trippy.

You have to do the former, regardless of if you do the latter.

The issue I have is that it isn't really compatible with the idea of having a big social media network. If they wanted to make a "safe space", well, doing that via Lemmy -- or any federated platform -- wasn't the right choice.

It'd be like trying to make a "safe space" on Reddit. The idea just doesn't make sense. It's too inherently open, too public, for that to be viable.

Yeah, feels like they picked the wrong technology for their community. A phpBB style forum with isolated signup & long-developed moderation tools might have been better for what they want.
