      There’s no real drama. Beehaw is defederating from some instances with shitty communities. That’s all.

      I don’t understand people who want this to be another reddit. Reddit was awful lmao

        IMHO, the big problem is that defederating causes a bunch of problems when you’re cutting ties with an instance that is 99.9% good actors.

        Sure, you cut out the trolls, but you also totally fuck up the user experience for the vast majority of well intentioned people.

        Example, I’m on Lemmy.world, and my wife is on beehaw. We often both comment to a Lemmy.ml community, and neither of us can see each others comments even though Lemmy.ml is neutral ground.

          Eh, having read the information provided upfront by beehaw upon joining their instance, I find it unsurprising that they’d block an instance that allows something as discriminatory as the_donald. I’m on a different instance altogether, but I wouldn’t be surprised if our server owner is keeping an eye on that situation as well. I know we’ve already defederated from a few such as lemmygrad, and one of our rules is “No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism,” which is one of the reason I joined this instance in the first place.

          There are plenty of instances you can join that allow Republicanism, Stalinism, Maoism, or whichever other extremist communities you want to see. Personally, I’m not looking for another reddit. I want something better than that.

            For something better than Reddit, manly better mod tools and better mods than on Reddit would be required…
