This doesn't seems to work very well. I searched for Diablo and got 0 results

Jerboa doesn't take me to the comment directly but I'm going to assume this is the one lol

It was part of the annoucement .

After reading many comments I think my 'outrage' came, as it often does, from misunderstanding. Also, because when singing up most people say don't overthink it, it doesn't matter much. But now I'm seeing that it does matter to sign up for an instance with like minded people. As I see more of what seems to be the drive behind beehaw, it doesn't really resonate with what I want, but that doesn't make it wrong. It is ok for that group of people. We just need to make sure that communities of general interest that were taking off there because they were one of the largest instances are also present in a more open and accessible place, so we are not restricted to collaborate.

I see your point. I was seeing it from the perspective of discouraging stuff to be shared on other communities because it's already in beehaw, but you'd need an account to participate there.

But I see what you say, allowing them to contribute to other instances isn't bad even if they don't allow those instances to contribute on theirs.

But that is an issue too. Why would other instances allow them full access while being prevented from collaborating in theirs ?

Reading through the comments in their post I'm losing the little sympathy I was feeling. It looks like the moderation tool they are hoping for is one that allows their users to access other communities while preventing the other communities from accessing beehaw. That feels shortsighted and selfish, and I would think most communities on that end on the block would block them reciprocally.

I think it's also important to note, beehaw has the largest amount of blocked communities

Yeah. In the explanation they say that four people are taking the load of moderation, that can't scale. If the rest of the communities keep growing they may end up isolating themselves for not being able to adapt.
