any other #lemmy users have their home instance on #beehaw but use lemmy elsewhere? I'm curious how much of that ecosystem I'm missing out on because Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world
@RoundSparrow how much do you feel like you get out of Lemmy from communities that aren't available in your beehaw account? I just want to know how much of that corner if the fediverse I'm missing
If it seems like I'm currently talking a lot about "the Media Activist Manifesto," it's because I worked on it all year, and researched the subject for twenty years. I've arrived at the conclusion that, in the spirit of #ReseauMutu, or Mutu Network, the #Fediverse can hold a key to societal change through radical news, based on a framework similar to #Lemmy, #Kbin, and in particular #Beehaw. Imagine an online space to visit for anticapitalist and antifascist information and info relevant to whichever locality you're in. Those interested in helping develop this, please let me know! https://www.mediaactivist.com/manifesto/
Y’know, I really wanted to like #kbin, #beehaw and #lemmy, but they really are as toxic as Reddit - the gaming groups at least.
It would be nice to find a gaming group that’s not infected with assholes, but I feel like that’s asking too much, because Gamers are the worst.
Altho it’s not just the gaming groups. There’s a level of nastiness I wasn’t expecting going in after being on Mastodon. Mastodon has the HOA and Well Actually mansplainers, but some folks are just dicks on the #threadiverse.
Beehaw is considering other alternatives to Lemmy due to its immaturity as software and their attempts at improvements being blocked/ignored by Lemmy developers. That feels ominous to me.
It seems like Lemmy is not close to being a practical Reddit alternative. To be fair, Reddit's enshittification forced a lot on Lemmy all at once. It didn't have a chance to grow organically.
@rameez@andycarolan Feddit.uk is the instance I use - Beehaw has very strict rules which don’t entirely align with the fediverse ethos. I like Feddit.uk though, does everything I need and the local feed is good
Looking back on all that social media kerfuffle lately, I think the whole "let's have everyone in the world here on the same platform" was perhaps a mistake. I'm not sure I want to have Jim Bob the Trumper reading what I post. Honestly, a curated community seems more my speed. In that vein, I'm kinda glad that my #Lemmy instance, #Beehaw, decided to defederate from a couple of instances with open signups. I don't care about big numbers or clout. I just want to be with my people.
Looks like I didn't get into #beehaw , so I'll try #kbin instead since I didn't want to associate with lemmy after the kerfuffle with Beehaw. Which is fair as I answered truthfully about what I could contribute to their community. My value and what I bring to the table, is something I don't know. The nebulous nature of my inner world can give one nothing in regards to granting an accurate answer on my value.
@Dennis5891 I'm quite alright. It does be like this sometimes, nothing to really bum me out. Just life in action, I'll take it in stride as there are numerous ways forward for me to walk.
@beehaw hi there! I joined #beehaw (it. Looks. So. Good.) and got accepted for registration but get infinity loading when trying to login. Probably should just wait but pinging in case it's something that should be pinged.
This is just a friendly reminder to donate to the admins of whatever flavor of the #fediverse you're on. Server space, electricity, bills n shit. Those cost money.
#Beehaw's aggressive defederation move is rather eyebrow raising in the wider context of how #Fediverse works; I cannot help but feel it will either rejoin soon-ish, or start declining as a community.
Not my circus, not my monkeys; but watching the last week of #Reddit migration has been fascinating. I fully assume it is very similar to the #Twitter exodus of last autumn...
I have kinda thrown my hat in with #kbin - though I am quite averse to putting all my eggs in one basket by now. Wish I had a useful skillset to actually be able to volunteer to help Ernest build up the capacity, alas - I last touched PHP about 10 years ago...
@casstr Not sure if thisi s within your skill set but writing / editing / reviewing user- an developer-focused documentation is always needed!
To me the last week is more similar to the April 2017 move to Mastodon but it's got a lot of similarities to last fall as well. Here's my post from last week looking at what can be learned from what did and didn't go well in the past. https://privacy.thenexus.today/kbin-lemmy-fediverse-learnings-from-mastodon/
