I just found out about this and it's very disheartening. I can see trolls being a valid problem but the solution is more mods. What beehaw did is very detrimental to the health of the fediverse, especially in the most crucial month. With two of the largest instances split from each other, it'll be twice as hard to grow a critical mass of content.

I'm blocking all beehaw communities myself. I don't want to contribute to a instance where the admins are selfish.

What beehaw did is very detrimental to the health of the fediverse, especially in the most crucial month.

I don't blame them though. They are running a really specific community with it's own culture and it ended up getting disrupted and diluted by the influx of new users.

In a month everything will calm down and I hope they refederate again.

I blame them for not trying anything else.

This is like... Getting a flu and deciding to chop off their nose.

“We tried nothing, and we’re out of ideas.”

Personally, I like Beehaw. They’ve got a good thing going, so I hope they get moderation squared away and re-federate. But they de-federated at a critical time, and I think they’ll do themselves more harm than they’ll do the fediverse.

I suspect we’re going to see a lot of churn in the ‘verse in the coming days weeks and months. New instances will arise and disappear frequently. Eventually things will stabilize with most users on a few enduring servers, with new ones popping up less frequently than they do now.

Beehaw may be an early casualty of the churn. If so, they’ll provide an object lesson in how not to manage such transitions.
