From the article:
"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.
Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."
I just checked, and Beehaw has defederated with 388 instances. Either the fediverse is overrun with nazis, or you’re making a massive generalization and Beehaw is being ridiculous.
I’m confused on how this works… I’m on lemmy.world, and they list that as a blocked instance on that page… But I can still access beehaw communities no problem from here.
The way federation works is by federated instances making copies of those communities, and syncing them when there are any changes, like when somebody posts a comment.
Defederation disables sync, but the ghost copies still exist on l.w. You can still comment and everything, it just wouln’t be synced to the main community on beehaw – they won’t see your comments, and you won’t see comments posted there that are made after defederation happened.
