I don’t and haven’t seen anything worthwhile coming from that server. Just adult kids making themselves mad about things
that’s their thing…
The funny part about shitjustworks is that it pretends to be bilingual eng/fr. That’s the main reason I’ve joined, but I haven’t seen a single post in French so far.
What on earth did sh.itjust.works do?
I saw that Beehaw defederated from them, and it’s just confusing to me. There’s all kinds of weird nonsense coming from lemmy.world, that defederation makes complete sense to me, but… what did sh.itjust.works do? They seem fine.
What are the toxic communities? Did I just miss them so far? I really don’t understand.
For Beehaw, it’s for historical reasons. In June 2023 LW and SJW became the largest instances, and hence had the largest number of toxic users. Beehaw estimated that the moderators were not doing enough to moderate those users, thus defederated.
If you look at Beehaw, they are still on 0.18.3. It’s unclear whether they will switch to another software like Piefed or Mbin, but they don’t want to update to the latest Lemmy versions.
Being defederated from LW and SJW cuts them from most of the users and content, but they seem happy that way.
Beehaw is pretty much whatever that one admin wants. They post constantly and want to get rid of anything they don’t personally like.
beehaw defederates from like every instance with more than a thousand users. they are bizarrely insular
Beehaw gives me weird, cult like vibes. You MUST be happy and positive, or you’re OUT. I’m probably entirely wrong, but that’s how they come across to me when I started looking into their rules when I thought about creating an account.
My understanding is that we had open registration and that led to a very small amount of spam posters. Apparently we were a moderation concern.
I’ve certainly downvoted people in this instance but I can’t remember the last time something particularly egregious occurred
I never understood why people are so quick to defederation. The block button seems to work for me.
Beehaw defederated from everyone and wanted to become their own thing. Didn’t work out well for them. I joined beehaw initially and then got banned after I commented on a post asking how queer people feel about queer movements. I said pride today is largely just advertising and virtue signalling instead of actual activism, that I only ever had my sexuality questioned by queer folk as opposed to religious or straight folk. I got banned. Anyone commenting anything negative about their experiences also got booted.
SJW is more of a moralist community with some conservatism, at least from my experience. Back when it was popular, everything was driven by community input and voting.
I’d like to move this community to .world since it’s larger, but there’s no way to transfer communities and I don’t think the Lemmy devs are quite willing to add any such feature

Please don’t. LW centralization is already quite bad, and prevents Aussie.zone from staying uptodate
.world is a little too block/defederation-happy. I moved from .world to SJW because they blocked a piracy community.
4chan being used as a derogative by Hexbear has made my day. I’ll take anon any day of the week.
