Oh, you're not wrong, I'm sure it'll all shake out relatively quickly.

It actually kinda does ruin something. Beehaw was setting itself up to have the defacto communities for a bunch of topics.

This only solves the problem for you. It doesn't solve the problem for the community, nor does it scale well (if everyone does it, then you're just gonna repeat the same dance over and over).

Hot take — maybe it was Beehaw that was getting too big too quickly, then?

They decided to take on an enormous workload, running so many communities, communities that then became the defacto standard communities for those topics.

That seemed to be a situation where the head mod was going against the wishes of the other mods. Not sure how I feel about it, personally, but it's not quite as simple as "Spez made the subreddit open against the wishes of everyone involved".

From what I've seen so far, that doesn't seem to be a solved thing yet.

It's arguably a sign that there is need for refinement, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, jeez. Every platforms' early days were much like this. Reddit was pretty shit at first. YouTube was pretty shit at first. And so on.

Nothing comes to life without teething pains. We're literally on day two for most users, it's bizarre to be saying anything about Lemmy's future this early.

Now THAT'S an ion blast from the past.
