For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    I’ve had nothing but thoughtful and pleasant interactions with users from Beehaw, so what’s the tea with them?

      Weren’t they the ones who defederate any instance that allows the word “poop”?

        I…have no idea? I don’t really know any Lemmy lore outside of that time everyone was posting beans. But my instance doesn’t ban “poop” and I can clearly see Beehaw, so probably not.

        Is there a lemmy version of r/subredditdrama? Because that would be helpful lol

          Not literally but aren’t they the ones that basically don’t federate with anyone because they have the moderation policies of Nick Jr and allow basically nothing more scandalous than “If You’re Happy And You Know It” in?

            Again, I don’t know. My instance seems to be fine with them, and I wouldn’t say it’s Nick Jr here. I also just see the same news/tech/whatever posts on Beehaw as the ones on .world or whatever, so I don’t even know what the content difference would be.

            But now I’m just even more curious about any potential mod/admin drama regarding these defederations, damn it.

              I came over fairly early during the Rexodus and a lot of the scuttlebutt was about Beehaw defederating basically anyone who had an open sign-up policy, which includes sh.itjust.works.

                Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I signed up around the time there was a big spambot attack here, so I picked an instance with closed registration. That explains a lot, actually.

        As is their right to? Like the whole point of Beehaw is to foster a positive environment. I’ve disagreed with many people there (including their admin, I’m pretty sure) without getting banned.
