A few days ago, Beehaw posted an announcement in their Chat community about the challenges of content moderation and the possibility of leaving Lemmy. That post was eventually locked.

Then, about two days ago, Beehaw posted an announcement in their support community that they aren't confident about the long-term use of Lemmy, due to so-called concerns about Lemmy.

If you currently use Beehaw and want to stay on the federated Lemmy network, consider migrating your account to another instance like lemm.ee.

The fediverse model is just pointless because it offers a stupid amount of redundancy and replication of communities. Why should literally anybody be able to come and spin up an instance and flood my feed with a new bevy of 1 subscriber 1 viewer communities? They didn't like the moderation strategy on the other server? Cool, let's give them carte blanche to just make another new community with blackjack and hookers and the 10 people who also disagreed with policies of basic decency.

It's just annoying. One day you're like "oh I've finally purged my feed of the thing I don't like" and then all of a sudden a new instance spins up and there's 20 new communities for the exact same shit that they have on literally every other server.

At least reddit is one and done. I don't have to filter out a football team five times because five different servers have five different communities for the one team.

You won't see the posts to the small communities on the new instance unless one of your users manually finds them and subscribes to them.

I get why a decentralized model was created; we've seen issues pop up with Reddit due to a centralization of power. However, this current implementation of a decentralized system is showing major problems at a fraction of the scale Reddit showed and the devs seem incapable of enacting meaningful change to fix this.

I don’t see that as a federation issue, it’s a moderation one. It’s on the admins to bring something new / niche to the table.
