From the article:

"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.

Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."

    The instances that have been defederated deserved it.

    Moderate your users or get shut off” is not a new concept. Email server admins do it all the time when they blacklist other email servers for enabling spam and scams.

    It’s on those instances to start acting like good community members again, at which point other instances will open back up to them.

    Part of the problem is that we just don’t have good moderating tools yet. Getting shut off due to lack of moderation is probably a good incentive to help develop such tools and start using them.

    If not, then that reinforces defederation as having been justified.

      Or it will just kill Beehaw because they’re now cut off from most of the other larger lemmy instances. Unless their users are just super loyal for some reason. If I were a member there I would have already jumped ship.
