โฒ 171 โผ what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago* by Dick_Justice@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world 114 comments fedilink hide all child comments I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?
[โ] z500@startrek.website 23 points 3 years ago (1 child) Apparently the 4 admins are having trouble dealing with the influx of new users, so they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because their open registration policies are giving them the most problems. https://beehaw.org/post/567170 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 years ago (2 children) Ok I'm one of the new users and it looks like I've commented on communities hosted there maybe a half dozen times. I guess I'm part of the problem ๐ But I'm a little unclear about the role an admin plays on an instance? Are they actually taking on mod responsibilities, in which case I can certainly understand how 4 would be totally swamped? I guess in my head I sort of imagined each community has its own mod(s) and the admins would only step in as a kind of "supreme court" if some dispute gets out of hand? I've probably got this totally wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] z500@startrek.website 11 points 3 years ago Yeah that's what I was wondering. I'm just going off what they said. I know they don't allow communities to be created except what they did themselves, so maybe they are taking on all the mod responsibilities? permalink fedilink source parent [โ] spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 years ago* Yes but this is a nonstandard approach. For most instances it works as you had originally described. permalink fedilink source parent
