Is there drama or a story I’m missing? As I understand it, from lemmy.world I can see their posts but they cannot see mine. Why did beehaw block lemmy.world?

      You can’t say that for certain

      That’s appeal to ignorance but I’ll bite.

      Perhaps I can’t claim it with complete certainty; but that applies to everyone, and everything. Nobody can be fully certain of anything at all. However since that leads to some useless trash called “solipsism”, we need to put an arbitrary line somewhere, and say that some things are certain enough to allow us to claim them “for certain”.

      And, in this case, we got two good ways to place that line: 1) consistency with the data at hand, and 2) Ockham’s razor.

      What I claimed is consistent with the behaviour and statements of the administration of that instance, and it explains the event (their decision to defederate lemmy.world). And it’s also the simplest explanation for it. So yeah, I am claiming it for certain.

      You know what can’t be claimed for certain though? What someone else “wants”. For example, your claim that they “want to be like Reddit”.

      yet you certainly seem to believe it.

      This is pretty much ignorable given that nobody have access to anyone else’s “beliefs”.
