My initial Lemmy account is on another instance, and some reactions I have seen to Beehaw defederating it have me... Displeased. Maybe it's because I am an internet grandma who used to use three dozens phpbb forums at once, but protecting one's community is entirely fucking okay and the "snowflakes" talk is exhausting.

100% agree and I just can't understand why so many are going nuts over it the way they are. They're so reactionary and ridiculous it makes me wonder if they read the actual reasons why (or even understood them.)

Aaaand that's why they're out. boot emoji

The reddit influx brings good but also redditors' usual bullshit along with it.

I love that beehaw is looking out for us and maintaining a space where it feels like people with differing opinions can actually talk about things with nuance and without feeling like they'll set off a landmine at any minute.

The dumb part is Reddit could've had it too if they had a sane management/board of directors.

Don't let the bootlickers fool you that spez was just along for the ride and duped into modding shitty subreddits or keeping it open under the guise of free speech, he actively enjoyed that content too.
