Its because they signed up for Twitter

Remember when Windows 10 was "the last operating system"?

There's already a shared public commons - it's called ActivityPub, and they refuse to use it because it would impact the shareholder value of their private company. Bluesky is as full of shit as my constipated toddler.

Eugen is proof that the fediverse requires distributed (not just decentralized) ownership.

I'm curious what/if any info can be retrieved from Matrix servers?

Glad they deleted it, but I am also glad that the mods saw this possibility and acted proactively before that shit could accidentally make its way onto our timelines. Beehaw is an intentionally safe space - that is much more of a stated goal than protecting libertarian "free-speech" or having an expansive presence on the threadiverse.

Even a single negative or hateful post showing up can have a profoundly negative and harmful effect on the community. We need to take this shit seriously and I am so so so thankful to have mods who are unafraid to act boldly here.

If you want an instance that is 100% reactive to hate speech and prioritizes your access to other instances at the potential risk of other instance members, maybe Beehaw ain't the place for you (and that's ok!)

I'm perfectly OK with Beehaw de-fedding from 75%+ of all lemmy inatances, including very large and popular ones, if it means keeping this space consistently free of hate. We are a community, not a platform.

Much love!

I really hope that we'll be able to maintain a strong resistance and fortification against Meta taking over the fediverse.

Fuck, let's pray it is

Corrected headline: The Reddit API Cash Grab is Breaking Reddit

Some of us are going through an actual grieving process over losing reddit. That place was my online home for like 15 years. It's the kind of thing that definitely deserves drunk-bar-ranting.

As an American, its always so encouraging to see the things that come out of the EU

Jesus fucking Christ man.
