Lemmings

Did my part.

r/pics did it yesterday

r/pics already did that

You should make a correction because your original post isn’t true

This would be preferable. There are some communities I follow over there I’d like to still have access too.

At least with jerboa you can turn off NSFW so you don’t need to see it. Alternatively just stick to local or subscribed and you don’t have to worry about seeing anything.

This is a disturbing question

Or any of the instances they’ll decide to block in the future

I don’t really have this issue. I went through every community yesterday and joined every one I wanted to. I have my feed set to subscribed and new so it’s always changing. I really suggest going through the community list.

You have to also remember there aren’t the same amount of people on lemmy that are on reddit. It’s going to take a minute for communities to grow and post more often.

I had an account on beehaw and once I saw the post I immediately created a new account on lemmy.world for the exact reason you described. I don’t want to be cut off or told what I can and can’t see.

I know. It’s not hard to lie your way into their instance if you really wanted to or one that has criteria to join. I really don’t think they know what they got themselves into with this decision because you’re right, they put a huge target on their backs.

I totally left beehaw once I saw the post. I didn’t want to be stuck only seeing what I was told I could.

No it wasn’t you. There were a couple of accounts that went in and spammed a whole bunch of bigoted posts.

They did not. It was just dumped on everyone earlier today

So I have an account on beehaw and pointed this out earlier to the admins. Got snapped at because how dare I try and say what they will do in the future. I was also told if they were going to defederate from everyone they already would have. Didn’t really get a response as to what they would do once people start to trolling from other instances. They don’t think it’ll be a problem from what I gathered

If lemmy.ml gets big enough I wouldn’t be surprised if beehaw blocks them too. Alternatively what I see happening is that communities will be created here to replace the ones that were on beehaw. I see more people joining an instance that isn’t so restrictive which will make the communities bigger than the ones on beehaw

Except not really. I created a new account on lemmy.world once I saw the notice they were defederating. I’m sure I won’t be the only one to do that. I liked what they were trying to do over at beehaw but I don’t like being cut off from 2 of the biggest instances.

I created a new account just now on lemmy.world about 10 minutes ago once I saw the announcement. I get what they are trying to do over there but I think defederating is a little much. I am upset about loosing out on some of the communities they have but others will take their places on other instances.
