Oh well, I was subbed into a couple beehaw communities but wasn't really active in them anyways.

Well I’ll take this opportunity to invite everyone over to The Garden : a bed for gardeners and everyone else to grow their roots and thrive. We have open registration and community creation.

I think the only way around stuff like this is to have some alts hanging around. This account is an alt to the same-name lemmy.ml account, but now only the lemmy.ml account can see beehaw stuff. It's a shame, because beehaw did seem to have something good going with their more curated communities. They could have put out a call for moderators if that's what they need, but instead they decided to close the gates.

I wouldn't be afraid to make a bunch of alts. Simply having an alt account doesn't put strain on the servers. It's the using it that does. Until then, it can lie in wait, inactive, without much impact.

I know I'm late to the discussion but why is lemmy.world showing up on beehaw instances? They refederated?

And over-sensitive, over-protective jannies ruin it again - just like Mastodon.

Hopefully we can re-establish the Technology and Gaming communities here.
