They were just making up excises to defederate if you ask me… cuz no one seems to mind most of the users either on this instance or another, but beehaw does 😒.
They don’t need an excuse, though. That’s the benefit of being an independent website. They can just decide for themselves, at any point, and for any reason.
But they gave a reason. So, maybe you should consider that they’re seeing something different from you.
That beats the whole point of having a fediverse, what good is it if everyone just defederates from everyone else. Basically, we’re back to the forum thing once again.
I call BS. I think it was planned all along. Wait till a bunch of users migrate from reddit to beehaw, defederate and run our instance our way, i.e. we run a forum that has ActivityPub, that’s it.
Beehaw: We’ll start our own Reddit. Without blackjack and hookers!
Someone tell them they don’t need federated systems for that, they could have done the same on a phpBB forum from 2004.
why did they defederate?
Trolls and off-site users not obeying community rules.
