Beehaw discussing defederating from lemmy.ml

Defederating from the largest instance seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. These guys and the Finnish loser instance can just hang out in their own clubhouse and that'll be fine by me, though.
That seems to be what Mastodon is all about, sadly. I thought it was going to be a legit Reddit/Twitter alternative. But it seems they're just little fiefdoms of ban-happy assholes who can't stand it when someone wins an argument with them.
