If you care about this and have the time, just start grabbing links from hexbear or reddit or your bookmarks and post them to appropriate non-beehaw communities.
Beehaw is a large, active, “no tankies allowed” lemmy instance that has suspiciously defederated from much of the rest of the fediverse, including its largest competitors lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
This potentially threatens the lemmyverse as a system. If Beehaw gains a critical mass of the active lemmy userbase, and continues to defederate from its competitors, it could cause a vicious cycle where everyone goes to Beehaw because “that’s where everyone is.” Alternatively, Beehaw could use the threat of defederation to backseat-moderate other instances and enforce Beehaw politics outside of Beehaw. Either way, federation is defeated if Beehaw gets big enough.
*Lemmy.world is like twice as active as beehaw rn, I think beehaw fucked themselves over with their vetting process
They have like 150 users/month, I would imagine people just don't know they exist.
For ordinary users, fair. But I expect the people who are operating the network to have a slightly better idea of what is going on. What's happening is we have a bunch of day-one transplants showing up telling the people who have been on Lemmy/Fedi for three years what the problems are.
