It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it’s just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward

    Well, they still federate with exploding-heads… I don’t know if I’d say they’re doing good at preventing hate, it kinda feels like there was just a lot of pressure to kill c/thedonald.

      It’s still a step in the right direction at least, but yeah, if they don’t defederate from that instance it kind of says a lot about their attitudes. I was trying to be optimistic that them removing that community might signal that they’re going to defederate from that instance next.

        The latest comments I saw from the admin was that they would defederate from instances with hate speech and bigotry (https://sh.itjust.works/comment/476848) but yet there’s been no action so while I want to be optimistic, it’s a bit hard. Their community already had a discussion about it and it seemed positive that they should defed but no action (https://sh.itjust.works/post/151703).

        Hopefully .World defeding will push them to act.

          I hope so too, but at least there’s always Beehaw 🐝🤠

          Honestly I’d rather refederate with .world before them anyway, at least .world seems to be trying to keep on top of this stuff despite their massive user growth. Looking forward to updated versions of Lemmy where that more granular moderation control is available.

            I suspect all the big servers are struggling to find footing, and I’m giving a bit of latitude in my opinions. The three mains we’re talking about here pretty much span the spectrum of management styles. It will be interesting to see them evolve.
