A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
what about beehaw? i've seen it around, but know not of any instance wars.
Beehaw defederated from a lot of servers and nobody knows why.
Nobody? They posted an explanation lol
It made no sense.
It made no sense to you.
Did it make sense to you?
Yes. How I understand it they're trying to run a curated safe space over there but are finding current moderation tools insufficient to moderate the influx of users on certain instances. I believe it was connected to those with no registration verification.
They've said they don't want to do it, and once they're feeling able to take better control they will re-federate.
And, that's entirely their call. If their users want access outside of their walled garden they can make an account elsewhere. If people currently defederated from them wants access, join an instance still federated.
I appreciate you breaking it down like that, thanks. Makes the situation easy to understand.
It's because they're lame.
