Only from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, not with others AFAIK. The anouncementpost can be found here https://beehaw.org/post/567170

Lol every time I read an announcement by these guys it feels off-putting. I thought I was a progressive but reading this and the comments makes me feel like I am the furthest thing from progressive if this is what they believe. Every time they mention a safe space, I wonder if they are trying to make safe spaces seem like a joke because that's the vibe I'm getting. Safe spaces are for victims, not for trying to create a great wall of beehaw "ideals."

I really don't see it in such a negative way. Being able to control what you allow and don't allow seems like the whole idea of a federated system in my perspective, including defederation with other instances.

Everything is also new to everybody and these are also just some volumteers sharing their servers and bandwidth to host a place for people to chill. Finding a way to moderate the huge influx of people sounds like a challenge and I can see why they would make this choice (and I believe it's temporary for now as well). I see Beehaw currently more like a phpbb forum that has it's own thing. So far I'm liking the different communities beehaw, lemmy.world and kbin bring, each in their own way.

I guess I'm frustrated with the communities that decided to chose beehaw really, some of the big subs announced they would now be moderating a replacement community on beehaw. It makes me want to shake them and ask why the fuck did they pick beehaw. If beehaw wants to become a great firewall, whatever it only makes me never want an account on there because I want to choose which instances to interact with, not the admins. But now I would have to find new communities to replace the ones taken away by beehaw admins. Any communities I have created can't be interacted by beehaw users and I can't interact with any communities on beehaw. I've already read a comment about a person from beehaw who now can't continue to mod a community on lemmy.world. The nuke action was not appropriate imo. The beehaw admins also refuse to delegate, they only want 4 people to comb through every single post and comment. This is insane for 4 people to do.

I also don't see this as a temporary measure, they want the lemmy devs to implement the exact mod tools they want otherwise they won't unblock my instance. I find that unlikely to happen any time soon, if ever, due to how open source projects work. Might as well as have told everyone it is permanent and they don't care instead of giving a bs reason. Why would I bother making an account on a different server at this point when that server can easily be the next one beehaw blocks? At what point does beehaw decide to just defederate because they can't handle interacting with other instances? I have taken the news very poorly and have nothing but disdain for the admins there.

I thought beehaw didn't allow their users to create communities.

Looks like I made a leap there that was incorrect, I was looking at a list of migrated subs and assumed the mods were migrating with it. Sorry about that. Well another reason not to use beehaw, control freaks that don't let you open your own community.

lemmy.world, kbin and Twitter have been my new dopamine rotation routine atm.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing this.

This is honestly interesting to watch play out, because one of the neat things about federation is that it allows for effectively chains and knots of information - Beehaw is more censored/curated at the moment while Kbin is more connected than anything because it’s bridging Lemmy World and Beehaw.

[-] SoupOfTheDay@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

So pardon my ignorance but if you’re on lemmy and beehaw defederated, you wouldn’t be able to see any beehaw content, right?

I’m genuinely still trying to figure it all out still.,

[-] zaemz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Any new content. We can still see and interact with the posts that were created and copied from when beehaw was federated with lemmy.world. Once they defederated, their server simply stopped interacted with lemmy.world.

Any posts you see from beehaw are just copies. You can still comment and vote, but the changes are only kept on lemmy.world's instance.

Since lemmy.world is still allowing federation with beehaw, lemmy.world users can still see posts and comments from beehaw users, if those beehaw users were to post to the lemmy.world instance directly. The beehaw users wouldn't see any interactions or replies, however.

It's a street with a lane blocked off right now. Lemmy.world allows traffic from beehaw, but beehaw blocked traffic from lemmy.world. We can hear them and see them, but they can't hear or see us.

That ending got a scary movie vibe. Doesn't de-federating kind of take your community out from knowing what's happening around the neighborhood?

[-] zaemz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think from the perspective of beehaw, it's more relieving rather than spooky. There's nothing stopping someone from hopping over here to lemmy.world to make an account. It's just that comments and posts from here don't get copied over to beehaw, so it makes it less work to curate and moderate what's showing up for beehaw-specific accounts.

[-] Pixlbabble@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was thinking about that yesterday, not only can it become an echo chamber for the server, kind of the point of thing like a digital house/hotel, but it gets weirder because there's comments on the same page but it's in a parallel universe of comments. I dunno, feature not a bug?
