What’s the deal with lemmy.world and beehaw? - eviltoast

I don’t get what the problem is? Anyone can elaborate.

Edit: Thank you all for shedding more light on this topic. I’ve never really used flatpak but I do understand it better now!

      That’s because it’s a punk music site. I can’t say what type of people they are because I don’t fit their server (into specific punk types, from UK, Australia or NZ, among others), so I’m not even gonna try to join. For the most part, punk skinheads are alright. I’ve know quite a few in my life and they weren’t racist a bit. Not to say there aren’t racist skinheads, but from my experience the majority are not racist and anti-fascist. I’ve even been to a couple of punk shows and the crowd was wild but there weren’t any assholes as I saw, but again, that’s only my experience.

        Thanks for the info. I was just scrolling through all the server names and that caught my eye. I was also amazed at the sheer number of servers listed. Some of these federated servers must have only a handful of users (if not just 1).

          It’s understandable racist skinheads ruin it for everyone. Dead Kennedys even wrong a song for them, nazi punks fuck off.

          As for the servers, there are quite a few that are personal servers for themselves, friends and/or family, or specific hobbies. It’s one of my favorite things about the fediverse. Anyone can create an instance for whatever they choose. It’s great.
