Comments like this is why instances need downvotes displayed

It’s the defacto way many communities stick around and communicate with each other, especially in the gaming world.

I thought Trump was really unpopular with Utah Mormons?

Alito seems untouchable, there are dozens of stories like this about him and his wife.

I’m not sure why you’re so defensive about it, but ok?

I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted.

There’s nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you’re projecting here.

it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.

You’re describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.

Seems like a consequence of beehaw’s actions

Lots of places that talk about this

!selfhosted@lemmy.world !selfhost@lemmy.ml !selfhosting@slrpnk.net !selfhosted@lemmy.ml

Be the change you want to see :)

https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean is what most use iirc

That’s a good question that I’m unqualified to answer but I’m sure that !selfhosting@slrpnk.net is a good resource for this.

Self funding or donations

The part where things get tricky is that beehaw currently has ~15 of the top 50 communities across the entire fediverse and has become the defacto discussion grounds for gaming/tech/news/etc.

One could argue this goes against the whole concept of decentralized communication in the first place, and this may be a position beehaw doesn’t want to be in.

Beehaw has every right to foster a tight-knit community that adheres to its desires.

But there also is a level of responsibility and custodianship over these large communities they foster for the betterment and adoption of the fediverse.

I don’t think they care? As long as they can pump the communities with ads so they can IPO.
