Hey Beehaw Mods,

Thanks for standing up to the rules that were set in place before the influx of users like myself that have recently joined. Morals and ethics do have dilemmas when upholding them, and I can certainly understand the frustrations, what-ifs, and anxiety that might be going through your conversations about deciding to defederate, if/when to (re)federate(?) with those specific instances or new instances in the future. Beehaw was my first experience with this type of communication outside of Reddit, and I believe yall have made the correct choice given the ungranulated mod tools that are currently available.

I personally don't know if these groups could prepare of an influx until it immediately happened. So there's probably tons of new issues to tackle. Thanks for taking the time to address them so your previous community members and new users like me can enjoy this experience.

The observational, although anecdotal, subjectivity from reading other's posts is that of frustration, and probably confusion over federation and defederation. There are so many new people, including myself, that have or have not read up on what those terms mean. Yall and many in this community have made multiple efforts to explain what those terms mean, as well as the benefits and consequences of them. We should do our due-diligence to understand what we're registering for when we provide a website with a username, email, and create a password.

Thanks for standing by your decision and supporting the previous rules that were provided well before we arrived. Coming from a long-term RiF user, it is refreshing seeing this site provide proof in the pudding. This isn't the same as reddit (or what was reddit to me - RiF), and people need to understand that. I prefer apps as I use my laptop for work and study, so the Jerboa app has made operating with federation/defederation actually pretty easy to work with.

Yee Haw for Beehaw? Thanks again. I don't know if yall needed to read this, but you're doing a pretty good job and it's actually quite impressive given the current climate.

I get into a tres leches craving mode occasionally. Super easy cake to make! I do homemade frosting too with heavy whipping cream and top it with fruit. Awful for you but it tastes so good.

I asked a question in one of the food threads(?) Forums(?) Lemmy instances(?) About ingredients about a type of food I can only get when I drive several hours away. I felt like it was received and answered without the memes and better-than-you tonality, which I felt was just nice and welcoming.

I lost everything here with the Texas freezes. All container figs grown from cuttings. Various kinds from figbid.com. my landlord made me remove my greenhouse and my wife refused to let me bring in the more valuable cuttings during the freezes. Such a bummer, and I hate starting over, but there is still hope!
