Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Call me stubborn if you must but as long as beehaw is playing the maverick part and not willing to be a full and compliant part of the fediverse I just won't raise an eyebrow. Well, not right now at least.
It's not that I'm super-informed and henceforth condemning beehaw or whatever, I just feel like transitioning from bigbroreddit to the fediverse is enough change without betting on the outsider that's whistling their own tune already.
If someone can educate me bringing some food for thought about beehaw I am willing to listen and eventually learn.
Beehaw said that they blocked some instances like lemmy.world because they were getting lots of trolls and hateful people from those instances, and they don't have the moderation tools to ban each offending account, so their best option was to defederate from those instances.
Beehaw admins did say though that they were willing to refederate, and I believe are working with some of the admins of the other instances to refederate.
But I also believe that the job of the Beehaw devs shouldn't make the platform that is the easiest to migrate too, but instead should be to make the platform that is best for their community.
That's quite informative and reassuring, thanks a lot. It may be what I needed to tilt the scales towards having a look at beehaw.
