I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    You can’t create communities on Beehaw and they are abusing defederation, no wonder it’s not growing. I don’t know about lemmy.ml

        Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. -Hanlon

        Beehaive is not defederating because they’re censorious assholes, it’s because their mod tools/skill are not up to the task.

        I used to be on Beehaw a lot, I have never seen a single troll or hate speech coming from lemmy.world. Being too extreme in protecting your users has the opposite of the desired effect

          I feel the same. Started off on Beehaw and recently encountered someone just going off in several comments about how horrible men are and the mods/admins let it slide. Seemed hypocritical to me and haven’t seen anything like that here.

          So between that, all of the defederation and not allowing downvotes I’m out. Lemmy.world is my main instance.

            I like the lack of downvotes, most people use downvotes so silence people. If there’s hate speech or things I think are misinformation the user should be reported or blocked.

              That’s fair. I think it can easily lead to piling on at times and is mostly used as a disagree button when it should be for whether there was contribution to the discussion. Different strokes for different folks and all that, just personally prefer it.

        Something being within your rights doesn’t automatically mean it’s good.
