  • Ok so TLDR for people who don’t quite know what this means.

    Beehaw are going for a walled garden approach and cutting off our access to content from some of the bigger instances. This is fine, it’s their right as instance admins and it creates a safer space for anyone who was only browsing Beehaw local communities anyway. It’s best they’ve done this now before even more people join, but it does suck for those of us who already built a nice feed.

    As users we now have a decision to make. If you’re an active member of a community on one of these two instances, you’ll probably need to migrate your account.

    If you’re an active member of a community on another instance, bear in mind if that instance grows large you may then be in the same position.

    The bad news is there’s no easy way to migrate accounts here like there is on Mastodon, and we’re going to have to resubscribe to everything all over again from whichever instance we move to. Unless anyone knows any handy tool or anything?

    (p.s. It seems like I can still click through to my communities on, say, lemmy.world but presumably they’ll no longer update. This is going to really confuse people as there’s no visual indicator that the community is blocked from my pov)

    I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)

    Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I’m happy about it.
