and of course he's the kind of born-wealthy-enough-to-afford-private-school white guy who wants Musk-senpai to notice him
god, does this man not have a PR team or something; why are they not making him shut the fuck up

nobody is cut off, holy shit
this is not as big of a deal as you're making it
people can make new accounts on freer instances in seconds
fucking lmao
as if they can'f make an account on another instance
y'all are just hurt because you think you're being rejected and insulted by this, when they made it clear that it wasn't personal or permanent
fucking exactly lmao
people from other instances seem to have felt entitled to Beehaw's communities and are acting like something was stolen from them when they'd never owned it to begin with
I see, you see Lemmy as being one big community, rather than separate communities that can interact with each other
so you see defederating as like locking away a part of the community, rather than a community deciding to lock up for a bit
on top of that, they were getting some pretty heinous abuse from a couple of users on the open-registration instances
not OP, but sure
they filmed the moon landing on the moon
all of that footage we have? Fake
they did travel to the moon but they faked all of the footage on site (the moon)
also Kubrick was there
I think the whole federation thing would do wonders on the anti-US-centric-bias end imo
not right now, though Beehaw said that they were open to refederating when better mod tools for Lemmy show up
exactly this
which is why I can't understand why people are so angry and almost offended about this
Like this isn't slandering all of Lemmy.world
but it's still a CEO, so they'd still primarily think in terms of profit; either way the enshittening of Reddit wouldn't be averted at all
they're literally doing that right now
are they supposed to just sit and let trolls keep coming in while they do it????
the moon buggy on camera was a wooden replica but to get it on site (the moon), they had to build an actual moon lander and everything
Meta is a corporation with a really horrible track record
and even if they didn't, it's still a corporation; it only cares for profit
I have very negative opinions on them joining
exactly this; the whole point was so instances could pick and choose who they wanted to interact with
I'd always heard that federation was good because if you get an instance infested with fascists, you (and everyone else who doesn't want anything to do with them) can just cut that instance loose and let it drift away
I guess others thought different?
yeah, this is the weird thing; Beehaw's reasonings are incredibly reasonable, and they're not saying that the other parts of Lemmy aren't good enough for them, which is what I think a lot of people are getting mad at
that and thinking that they're entitled to access to Beehaw
I think the issue is that everyone's so focused on seeing Lemmy as a "notReddit" that they outright get pissed when it doesn't work the way they think it should (like Reddit except the parts they think are bad)
Lemmy (and kbin, and other similar platforms) and Reddit have the same niche, but they're not the same thing
Isn't the whole point of the fediverse that you get to create and craft your experience for your community? There's a really good reason defederating is a feature. I don't get it, Beehaw decides to use the features of federation so now we: firstly become tribalistic (them vs us), and secondly decide to get angry? Like it or not, this is what you signed up for when you wanted federation.
Yes, exactly
like we're not owed Beehaw's cooperation; it's their instance and if the users want to do this then that's their perogative
Regardless, this is being blown out of proportion; Beehaw outright said that this was temporary
What if they don't want to scale?
they defederated from Lemmy.world and the other one, that's it
they're not closing themselves off; they made it very clear what they were doing and why; people keep just catastrophizing about it over and over for some reason
like they made it clear what they were doing and that it wouldn't necessarily be permanent
Because they don't want to; again, this is temporary while they get their bearings and figure out a better way to screen and moderate bad actors (and hoping that Lemmy.world does the same)
they're literally doing that right now
are they supposed to just sit and let trolls keep coming in while they do it????
lmao he keeps doubling down for some reason
the irony of a goddamned CEO calling unpaid volunteers "landed gentry"
