  • Hey Beehaw Mods,

    Thanks for standing up to the rules that were set in place before the influx of users like myself that have recently joined. Morals and ethics do have dilemmas when upholding them, and I can certainly understand the frustrations, what-ifs, and anxiety that might be going through your conversations about deciding to defederate, if/when to (re)federate(?) with those specific instances or new instances in the future. Beehaw was my first experience with this type of communication outside of Reddit, and I believe yall have made the correct choice given the ungranulated mod tools that are currently available.

    I personally don’t know if these groups could prepare of an influx until it immediately happened. So there’s probably tons of new issues to tackle. Thanks for taking the time to address them so your previous community members and new users like me can enjoy this experience.

    The observational, although anecdotal, subjectivity from reading other’s posts is that of frustration, and probably confusion over federation and defederation. There are so many new people, including myself, that have or have not read up on what those terms mean. Yall and many in this community have made multiple efforts to explain what those terms mean, as well as the benefits and consequences of them. We should do our due-diligence to understand what we’re registering for when we provide a website with a username, email, and create a password.

    Thanks for standing by your decision and supporting the previous rules that were provided well before we arrived. Coming from a long-term RiF user, it is refreshing seeing this site provide proof in the pudding. This isn’t the same as reddit (or what was reddit to me - RiF), and people need to understand that. I prefer apps as I use my laptop for work and study, so the Jerboa app has made operating with federation/defederation actually pretty easy to work with.

    Yee Haw for Beehaw? Thanks again. I don’t know if yall needed to read this, but you’re doing a pretty good job and it’s actually quite impressive given the current climate.
