There are different opinions on Beehaw's registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it's very practical, at least for the time being.

Btw, this is only my opinion as a new user, I don't know any of the admins/mods. Link to my original comment.

The fact that many are calling Beehaw admin/mod team “snobby” “snowflakes”, etc just says it all

I even saw one that called them "oversensitive ninnies" and it was weird how they didn't make the connection as to why they defederated

Honestly. Zero self-awareness.

I saw this image and I was like... "Actually? Maybe that wouldn't be so bad"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

What's really funny about this image is that the implication is that Beehaw mods are trying to keep us from seeing content from other instances, when they've said in multiple ways that 1) if you don't agree with the decision, you can go elsewhere, and 2) it's about keeping trolls from spamming up Beehaw, not preventing Beehaw members from venturing outside of the instance. I don't even know why people think Beehaw's admin/mod team cares at all about where it's users go beyond making sure they're not trolls trying to infiltrate. They're providing a free service where they're trying to build a community, not create an Orwellian dystopia where all thought is policed. If anything, mods here have been way more tolerant of dissenting voices than I've seen elsewhere as long as those voices are civil and not actively promoting bigotry/harm.

That wouldn't be a bad idea for the time being. But images like this show that these people really don't understand how the fediverse work. They would die of shock if they ever saw how long (way longer than Beehaws) the list of defederated servers is in the mastodon instance I'm in

I hope they really don't think we can't just type the address of other instances on our browsers and see the content... if we choose to, that is.

I mean, one of my first posts here was arguing with a user who said that "using the word 'minorities' is offensive since it doesn't include everybody" and kept arguing points like that.

Then they huffed and lamented that "clearly [they were] not welcome here."

I half-expected a "so much for the tolerant left!" before they self-exiled.

Poor little guy! This place is obviously far too rough of a neighborhood for them to be comfortable!

“using the word ‘minorities’ is offensive since it doesn’t include everybody”

That has to be one of the stupidest things I've read in a while

You know what? I was mistaken here. They were offended that someone brought up the governor of Florida and equated it to comparing them to governor of Florida.

Their point was "using the word 'minorities' means that you have a bias political agenda."

So my point still stands. And this was some of their comments/replies.
