  • Honestly, reading the comments of some out there regarding this issue. I’m starting to think that they did the right choice.

    It doesn’t take long to find fairly rude or insulting content regarding this.

    Most people have no reason to care if a small instance decided to sail away.

    It’s disappointing because I think this platform is already turning into reddit in term of tone/aggressiveness.

    And it’s not even just comments, it’s upvoting memes that are genuinely rude or targeting a specific community. I don’t like the way this is going.



  • Honestly, I respect their decision but at the same time I wonder why they didn’t create a standalone unfederated from the get go.

    If you want to keep the community small and tightly nit it’s just not compatible with the federation system. Now people got invested in some beehaw communities only to end up disconnected from them.

    Still, it’s not like there is a guide for this. We are all learning how to make the federation work. I hope we can keep it civil toward instances that choose to defederate.

    We are all invested in the same thing: Making Lemmy successful.
