IIRC Violentacerz modded like 50 different porn subreddits, and he did a goob job by moderation standards so he was appreciated by the admins for being the overseer of the porny side of reddit.

Yeah, people would make Obama and spez mods of their subs for the lulz; it's a disingenuous rumor to lie to spread about a person who has plenty of shitty things about him that people can discuss.

Discord is pretty great for video/voice chat - the things it tries to do outside of that can be frustrating.

It's miles ahead of having to use Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Skype like we had to in the past.

Alito seems untouchable, there are dozens of stories like this about him and his wife.

I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted.

There's nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you're projecting here.

it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.

You're describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.

Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions

Lots of places that talk about this

Self funding or donations

The part where things get tricky is that beehaw currently has ~15 of the top 50 communities across the entire fediverse and has become the defacto discussion grounds for gaming/tech/news/etc.

One could argue this goes against the whole concept of decentralized communication in the first place, and this may be a position beehaw doesn’t want to be in.

Beehaw has every right to foster a tight-knit community that adheres to its desires.

But there also is a level of responsibility and custodianship over these large communities they foster for the betterment and adoption of the fediverse.

I don't think they care? As long as they can pump the communities with ads so they can IPO.

I saw the title and thought it was going to be exciting/positive haha
