Comment on What does your 'home' instance really matter?
solidgrue@lemmy.world 1 year agoThat’s a little harsh. I was here before beehaw defederated, and the content over there was high quality. Some bad actors spoiled it for everyone over here.
Hopefully they’ll be back once the mod tools for cross-instance content management improve.
No need to sneer at them, it was a community decision. You can still interact wth the content on most other instances than .world and .itjust.works

I think they were being a bit unreasonable in expecting everyone else to have verified sign-ups. It would be prohibitively difficult to verify all of the users especially with the recent influx.
If the other instances had tried that I think Lemmy would be dead on arrival. It would have taken so long to verify each user that most people would have got bored by the time they’re approval came through and would never have even bothered signing in.

Honestly, it’s not that I find a reason in particular to dislike Beehaw users or their content, I just really got tired of weird philosophies regarding content discoverability and community sizes on Mastodon, and I can’t have that shit again. Hearing Beehaw start that mess again just makes me mentally check out and choose to ignore them.
