that’s their thing…

For Beehaw, it’s for historical reasons. In June 2023 LW and SJW became the largest instances, and hence had the largest number of toxic users. Beehaw estimated that the moderators were not doing enough to moderate those users, thus defederated.

If you look at Beehaw, they are still on 0.18.3. It’s unclear whether they will switch to another software like Piefed or Mbin, but they don’t want to update to the latest Lemmy versions.

Being defederated from LW and SJW cuts them from most of the users and content, but they seem happy that way.

My understanding is that we had open registration and that led to a very small amount of spam posters. Apparently we were a moderation concern.

I’ve certainly downvoted people in this instance but I can’t remember the last time something particularly egregious occurred

SJW hosts two communities that probably generate 99% of the issues/hate our instance gets: NonCredibleDefense, which is basically just edge-y military shitposting, and this community which is entirely based around making fun of tankies.

In NCD some of the takes can be really hot, but I’m usually pretty sure it’s a joke. Sometimes it can go too far, though.

This com is fine idk. Unless you’re a tankie and you come here to read about yourself getting mocked, I guess.

Beehaw defederated from everyone and wanted to become their own thing. Didn’t work out well for them. I joined beehaw initially and then got banned after I commented on a post asking how queer people feel about queer movements. I said pride today is largely just advertising and virtue signalling instead of actual activism, that I only ever had my sexuality questioned by queer folk as opposed to religious or straight folk. I got banned. Anyone commenting anything negative about their experiences also got booted.

SJW is more of a moralist community with some conservatism, at least from my experience. Back when it was popular, everything was driven by community input and voting.

I’d like to move this community to .world since it’s larger, but there’s no way to transfer communities and I don’t think the Lemmy devs are quite willing to add any such feature

beehaw defederates from like every instance with more than a thousand users. they are bizarrely insular

NCD has a user that promotes the use of illegal chemical weapons. This screenshot comes from a thread where we were discussing federation where these posts are saved to servers we pay for. This isn’t fair and toxic that we are targeted like this.

This isn’t funny. Nobody is subhuman and nobody deserves to suffer in a gas attack and this isn’t something that we want on our server. We do not deserve to be targeted and mocked like this for posting online or opinions. We wanted to have a discussion about it and instead people posted it immediately on a meta community to manipulate votes and opinions.

I am not a tankie but I do not need to silence them or mock them this community and targeting people is extremely toxic.

Sidebar is bilingual. Most of the French speaking Canadian communities are on Lemmy.ca, the rest on Jlai.lu

Je suis bien d’accord avec toi.
J’aimerais qu’on héberge plus de contenu francophone, mais ultimement je ne contrôle pas si les gens génèrent leur contenu dans une ou l’autre des langues.
J’en suis coupable aussi… il y a tellement d’anglais que j’ai tendance à l’utiliser par défaut.
Quoique je passes plus de temps à gerer le spam qu’autre chose ces temps-ci.

Sinon… et je sais que ce n’est pas grand chose… mais vous pouvez obtenir de l’aide d’un admin en francais si vous avec un problème qui requiert un admin. (En l’occurrence moi 😅)

If you put md at the very beggining of a code block, it’ll be formatted as a greentext on certain displays.

I typically opt for All to read .world and .ml debatelording.

It is good fun. Thank you for adding debatelording to my lexicon.

That’s true. We could use some more diversity in posting

got any examples?

This is so fucking stupid
