To be honest I had no idea that people from this instance were doing it until one troll post bragging about getting us banned from Beehaw and explained how he did it, along with a comic book supervillian diatribe about how the Fediverse isn't safe and long live Reddit.
The hell, lol… do you have a link to that post?
I probably could find one but it’s best not to give trolls the attention they seek.
I saw the same post the comment above is referring to and their description is accurate. And I also saw the offending post they put on beehaw. Some low effort troll homophobic thing. Their posts on both beehaw and sh.itjust.works were both quickly down voted and removed I think, because I couldn't find either again shortly after I first saw it.
Damn... Yeah, to be honest, it makes me understand things from beehaw's perspective quite a bit, then.
The internet was a mistake
just a heads up, in the past beehaw has accused other instances of brigadding, and being bigots over disagreements that had nothing to do with the such (I know that becuase that was story 3 and 4 respectivly) there is a decent chance that they have done the blocking over a difrent reason (like to exert a level of control) and then back justified. I will be really honest, do not take the beehaw admins word at face value for anything
such users will eventually be relegated to their own little isolated fediverse.
How though? The fediverse is... Federated. They can hop from server to server and be annoying to their heart's content and everyone on every federated server will get exposed to it. That and the traditional tools of the trade whereby if your account ever gets banned, you just make a new one.
yeah, but they all want to be together. For other examples look at shitposter.club noagendasocial.com etc.
and its certainly part of the reason gab.com decided to deactivate federation from their implementation of mastodon.
Instances can decide to federate only with other instances that share a common Code of Conduct.
That means the LGBTI can have their own set of federated instances, the Nazi can have their own set, the NSFW can have their own set, and so on. There is no requirement for every instance to federate with every other one.
I mean, the url literally contains shit.
If we can't say naughty words on lemmy I'll have to find something else. Can't there be a website with a middle ground between 4th reich HQ and baby preschool?
Sometimes it feels like the internet is in an unstable equilibrium. A space starts off as a blank slate, not pulled in any particular direction. Then as soon as it gets a critical mass of either miserable jerks or stuck-up prudes, it spirals in that direction until it's inhospitable to the average person.
