Idk what the culture is over there but it was just a bit funny to see the entire thread I was replying to just removed. Like that doesn’t happen here on kbin lmao. a bit of a culture clash there I guess.
I wonder if that’s the norm for lemmy and beehaw? Here on kbin basically nothing is removed it seems. at least for now.
Do you know why? That’s pretty wild. ETA: I see the answer in a Beehaw post below. Makes sense. I’ve never modded anything but I imagine federating with other popular instances with only 4 mods would be overwhelming.
Yup. So beehaw is a pretty closed site with strict moderation. They’re trying to keep a particular tone and style for users and content (think safe space). Lemmy, in contrast, is open for sign-ups, and just had a ton of ex-redditors coming in with a very different culture, tone, way of interacting, etc. Since there’s so many Lemmy users now, beehaws moderators couldn’t keep up (there’s only four of them apparently), so they defederated.
