    Good. It is important to have different instances to distribute the load though. However, I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw…

      As long as people understand the circumstances of that instance I have absolutely no problem with people finding the place they belong.

      I just hope there are not new users who don’t realize they may not be federated with the larger community.

      I don’t hope that, exactly, I just hope that the people who join understand what they’re getting (and, more importantly, what they aren’t). I fully support a community with a different goal than most, and their goal seems like a wholesome one. I personally think it’s doomed to failure, but I support them giving it a try. They’re barely part of the fediverse though.

      Looks like beehaw.org is shedding users. They’ve lost about a thousand users since defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works last week. Maybe a bunch of people weren’t happy with that move.

        They defederated with the some of the largest instances that have open registration due to the influx of people causing issues in their own communities and the lack of mod tools to address the issue. People are still pissy about it despite beehaw admins stating they will lift the defederation once lemmy mod tools improve…

        They’ve defederated from both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. They’re still a good community, but I don’t consider them part of the fediverse at this point.

        They block a shit ton of instances, not always for good reasons. Often to maintain an echo chamber.
