Yeah, people would make Obama and spez mods of their subs for the lulz; it’s a disingenuous rumor to lie to spread about a person who has plenty of shitty things about him that people can discuss.

It’s the defacto way many communities stick around and communicate with each other, especially in the gaming world.

Discord is pretty great for video/voice chat - the things it tries to do outside of that can be frustrating.

It’s miles ahead of having to use Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Skype like we had to in the past.

I thought Trump was really unpopular with Utah Mormons?

Alito seems untouchable, there are dozens of stories like this about him and his wife.

I’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?

https://toast.ooo/c/[email protected] should work, seems to be a problem with the toast.ooo instance.

It works on most instances I try.

You could try DMing the Admin there looks like their name is @grant - or pick a more established server that works better

I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted.

There’s nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you’re projecting here.

it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.

You’re describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.

Seems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions

Let’s goooooooooooooooo

Lots of places that talk about this

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Be the change you want to see :)

That’s a good question that I’m unqualified to answer but I’m sure that [email protected] is a good resource for this.

Self funding or donations

That’s disappointing

The overwhelming amount of content is distributed among lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and beehaw.org - whether these instances like it or not.

Is the expectation that every popular instance has its communities for general-purpose stuff?

Do we need a [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc? That fragmentation seems like a nightmare for the average user and for adoption in general.

The part where things get tricky is that beehaw currently has ~15 of the top 50 communities across the entire fediverse and has become the defacto discussion grounds for gaming/tech/news/etc.

One could argue this goes against the whole concept of decentralized communication in the first place, and this may be a position beehaw doesn’t want to be in.

Beehaw has every right to foster a tight-knit community that adheres to its desires.

But there also is a level of responsibility and custodianship over these large communities they foster for the betterment and adoption of the fediverse.

I don’t think they care? As long as they can pump the communities with ads so they can IPO.

I disagree I think it hurts overall adoption and the classic XKCD comic comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/927/

I respect your opinion, though.
