My first account on the fediverse was on Beehaw and I was happy with it, but defederating from two of the largest instances gave me a reason to find a new instance. Personally I understand and respect the decision -that is the point of the fediverse afterall.

They had a lot of good communities that will not be cut off from the fastest growing instances which will make things tough to rebuild I think.

    This is true, but I think @xavier666@lemm.ee’s concerns are also true. I think the biggest thing here is us all learning how to navigate the tech and getting better and more refined tools where needed.

    Not to sound condescending, but the reason why I signed up here instead of beehaw is because I read their mission statement. I said, “Cool, I 100% agree with this, but I’d personally rather not be so restricted.” I didn’t exactly see this coming, but reading it again it’s no surprise.
