There was a post about how beehaw was defederating from shitjustworks and lemmy.world about 6 hours ago. Are we involved in that, as are we a subset of lemmyworld?

How does this affect us? I still see beehaw posts on my ‘all’ page, but any content I engage with is effectively visible, I want to be sure
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Their platform they want to cultivate is a place where vulnerable populations feel free to open up and share how they feel without fear of reprisal. We should respect that. Here, we may want a little more pushback. Just gotta maintain decency
Blocking everything that isn’t sunshine and rainbows dose not make me feel open, and makes me fear offending the admins.
Still a new platform, so we’re all still searching for the right group. It’s just frustrating figuring it’s a bad fit later or it changes for the worst. I assume it’s the same reason most of us are here.
Indeed, I don’t think I would consider a place a “safe space” if I was constantly thinking “will I get banned for saying what I’m about to say?”
It depends on whether what you’re about to say is “Hitler did nothing wrong.” Nazis lost WWII, so the entire world is not safe for them. Nobody cares about creating safe space for Nazis.
I got permabanned from /r/canadapolitics because I explained to someone why I thought their comment was being downvoted. No warning, no appeal. They have a rule there that prohibits downvoting even though there’s no way to stop it or detect who’s doing it, and apparently my comment was enough for the mods there to go “aha, a downvoter!”
Nothing remotely to do with Nazis, but not a safe forum nevertheless.
Agreed
