Just wanted to say that I love the art on the server error page. It is top notch. The bees knees, even.

P.S. good luck with the server stuff!!!

I was sad to have to see it, but it was also a delight

Yeah, saw that the other have, pretty great :D

Call me stubborn if you must but as long as beehaw is playing the maverick part and not willing to be a full and compliant part of the fediverse I just won't raise an eyebrow. Well, not right now at least.

It's not that I'm super-informed and henceforth condemning beehaw or whatever, I just feel like transitioning from bigbroreddit to the fediverse is enough change without betting on the outsider that's whistling their own tune already.

If someone can educate me bringing some food for thought about beehaw I am willing to listen and eventually learn.

While I think your question is valid and I'd also appreciate discussion on that topic, it might make more sense to ask it as its own post instead of commenting on this post regarding the server error page art.

I did it on purpose. This post will draw attention to people both beehaw-savvy and beehaw-enthusiasts enough to appreciate the error page, which place could be better actually to educate my prejudice?

Please create a new thread instead. I'm not sure of the etiquette over here yet, but hijacking threads and going off-topic is generally frowned upon. For what it's worth, I didn't downvote your post, but it looks like some other users didn't appreciate it either.

If you can't stand a side remark and a bit of rabbithole chasing maybe you'd be more comfortable with something more rigid than the fediverse, unless you take it as a country club. And oh, a couple users frowned upon my comment henceforth you are so right and I am so doomed.
Sigh...

Beehaw said that they blocked some instances like lemmy.world because they were getting lots of trolls and hateful people from those instances, and they don't have the moderation tools to ban each offending account, so their best option was to defederate from those instances.

Beehaw admins did say though that they were willing to refederate, and I believe are working with some of the admins of the other instances to refederate.

But I also believe that the job of the Beehaw devs shouldn't make the platform that is the easiest to migrate too, but instead should be to make the platform that is best for their community.

That's quite informative and reassuring, thanks a lot. It may be what I needed to tilt the scales towards having a look at beehaw.
