more often than not, authoritarian leadership coincides with a strong chokehold on local media and strong dismissal or even attempts to completely bar entry of foreign media
think the great firewall, or local newsstation, being subsidiaries of fox, reading the exact same statements from a script across the USA
i dont see why that is such an issue, defederating beehaw seems punitive and petty
that was probably commies rather than the alt right
they also have a tendency to call folks race traitors and deny genocides
something something horseshoe
thats pretty unfair, theres no reason to think that they intend on cutting themselves off from the fednet entirely
according to them this is a temporary measure until they have better tools for moderation, more mods or until things have calmed down a bit, I dont see any reason to question that
they could, but in practice it would never amount to the level of trolling and toxicity they are receiving from .world and justworks
folks are taking this too seriously imo
you can interact with me on their posts, however they will not see your comments ik pretty sure
from what i understand you will still be able to see their content, they just wont be able to see content from lemmy.world or shitjustworks
the level of users is hopefully permanent, but the lack of moderation to adequately deal with it, both from beehaw and lemmy.world, is not
its also a cultural problem, at the moment the culture of the fediverse is still settling and folks are poking and prodding and seeing how much they can get away with
i honestly do not care about having the option to pay for things
i consider the quality of a platform as if monetised features dont exist, and discord is still a pretty solid platform besides them
if they start monetising existing features, sure, that effectively removes features, but until then getting mad at things that simply do not affect me is silly
