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!

    Beehaw is meant to be a safe space, mitigating toxicity, while other instances, by having registration open to all without moderation, causes that.

    By being federated, they can interact with one another. Beehaw defederated them in order to avoid that. The main argument being that the modding tools right now aren’t good enough to help them do it any other way.

      Sucks that some bad actors caused the defederation, but I understand the reasoning. Modding is a difficult and largely thankless job, and without a good set of tools to keep that kind of behavior out and nothing else but the big “block 'em” switch, it seems to have left them at an impasse.

      That’s a bummer. I really liked Beehaw but wasn’t able to sign up for whatever reason, which is why I signed up here. Sucks that hateful jerks can ruin it for everyone.
