Hey, it was quick and dirty π€·.
Plus 99% of them don't allow you to open an ccount, so... f them.
You don't need to open an account. You can follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.

Why are people so upset about Beehaw being quite exclusionary?
When I first learned about the Fediverse part of the appeal was that some instances would be open, some would be more exclusive, and that was part of the appeal. Don't like how open/exclusionary one is? Then leave and go to a different one.
Defederation is a feature of the Fediverse, and using it isn't some big crime.

Defederation was meant as a last measure to block instances like gab.ai or truth social. Not to block content the Moderators may not like. At the end it should be the users choice what content they enjoy. Large instances blocking each other betrays the whole idea, the dream that we can all communicate. This is, at its core, Gmail blocking Outlook users to send mails to Gmail users because Outlook allows X, Y and Z and its just insanity.
I agree. We should be able to federate and defederate who and when we want. If you really can't find any sever that fits your needs, there's always personal instances and starting your own server.
Thereβs so many things wrong with the way beehaw is run that I donβt even know where to start.
They basically run it as a forum... with ActivityPub.
A CCP administrated forum! Taking inspiration straight from spez
It's funny actually... Lemmy being developed by tankies, but beehaw taking the defederation approach π.
Give me one? Beehaw is one of my favourite instances short of lemmy.ca.
They defederated with multiple large lemmy instances (lemmy.world and another I donβt remember). They also did this in an asymmetric way making themselves an island whose content gets sent out into the fediverse but who doesnβt listen to updates for the content that gets sent out.
If I comment on a beehaw post as a lemmy.world user, my comment will only live on lemmy.world and not the rest of the fediverse because of what beehaw did
Well yeah, but that was because of an influx of spam and not because beehaw admins have anything against lemmyworld. Afaik they are currently working out with lemmyworld's admin how to solve this situation and refederate.
Yea its pretty much the same with our instance. They defederated from us but our admins and their admins are chill and want to eventually refederate.
At this point, I don't even care, I unsubscribed from all beehaw communities.
Yeah, but who's fault was it that beehaw got swarmed with users. Everyone on beehaw that also had reddit accounts wrote "come over to Lemmy, sign up on beehaw π"... why would I even suggest that if it doesn't matter on which instance users signed up, they can all still see the same content posted on the fediverse. Unless you defederate that is, then yeah... but that just means that they were planning on running it like a forum and defederate from the start, then just use the influx as an excuse.
LOL π€£
What's ActivityPub?
It's a protocol that fediverse platforms, such as Lemmy, KBin, Mastodon and PeerTube use. Basically, it's how all of the different instances and platforms find one another in the fediverse, how they federate.
Ooh awesome thank you!
They don't actually, do they?
No, it's just an instance, but defederated from some of the largest instances, thus, the joke, they being their own platform.
Lemmy and beehaw are the same software, different servers.
That's the joke. They defederate from everyone, thus effectively making it their own platform.
