Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances

    Yup. I completely agree. I understand why beehaw defederated from lemmy because lemmy kinda seems… unhinged, in comparison to beehaw’s carefully crafted community.

    Whereas kbin I think you’re right, tend to be happy to civilly hear each other out. whereas I feel like beehaw isn’t really interested in that. Though I think of kbin users respect beehaw’s way of doing things while we’re in their space, they might not have issues with us.

    granted, the response I got was “we don’t even think about you” so maybe kbin is too small to really be noticeable to them lol.

      Unhinged. You’ve found the perfect word for it. They come off to me like what happens in study hall when the instructor has to leave.

      granted, the response I got was “we don’t even think about you” so maybe kbin is too small to really be noticeable to them lol.

      Goodness, my pride, lmao. I think I’m quite content not to be such a giant enough instance I get thought of. Hundreds of comfier, smaller places over Reddit Deux any day. I agree, the people here seem on the whole cognizant enough to keep themselves in check, rather than…whatever reddit was. That would be one behavior I am thrilled to see die, and hopefully federating with more chaotic instances won’t kick it up again. I’m concerned it may.

        haha you’ve summed up my thoughts exactly. it’s a little interesting seeing lemmy get the wilder side of reddit and kbin getting the more reserved side. whereas both are “similar” enough that I think we’re fine with each other.

      Beehaw hasn’t really defederated from Lemmy. They still allow the biggest Lemmy instance and a lot of smaller Lemmy instances. What they have done is block 2 of the top 4 (hard to count since the user count tools are having issues here on the lemmy side)…

      I first had worries about Lemmy and thought about kbin first, but seems the reddit migration has managed to make the issues minor in my case. There’s less issues. So, I’m surprised Beehaw had that amount of trolling.
