This Is Why You Should Not Join Beehaw Or Lemmy
Posted by Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 35 comments
I need yalls thoughts on this. After what I've been experiencing and seeing on lemmy and how the fediverse 'operates ', it's obvious to me now, that the fediverse was DESIGNED for censorship.
I wanted to leave reddit because of that, and let me tell you, not only is lemmy not user friendly, they've got an agenda and that's to keep you OUT of their instance.
Specifically beehaw. They are trying to fool you with their wording in everything they post. To try to make themselves seem reasonable.
I've come to the conclusion that the admins at beehaw, are trying to become the biggest instance so that admins on other instances are forced to follow their militant rules.
It's fucking strange seeing people this psychotic quite honestly.
Also, I'm convinced that admins from beehaw have alt accounts to try and rationalize their behavior on other instances.
I screen shotted 2 people debating this. There should be 4 pictures here, if you don't see all of them let me know and I'll upload them individually.

Is there not a single centrist or right wing Lemmy instance? This is ridiculous.

I just want there to be one like what Beehaw claims to be: insisting on civil discussion and avoiding being an echo chamber.
I just go banned for linking to UN and BBC re definition of genocide. "Everyone knows the truth, go back to Reddit" said the mod of the instance (which must have reported me to BeeHaw).
In consider myself a Leftist but they won't allow anyone to deviate from the song sheet.
limeunderground@reddit
yeah, beehaw sounds pathetic!

Exploding-heads.com is where you want to go. Every one's gunna say we are racist bigots and we are not.
Lemmy is very left leaning. And they hate every one conservative
somethinggoingon2@reddit
Dang, what an awful name.
Why can't it be something like lemmy.general? lemmy.core?
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
Just try it dude
ioxhv@reddit
Lemmy is software anyone can host and everyone controls.
DiligentGarbage@reddit
If you're concerned about censorship, Burggit.moe is a lemmy instance which is specifically focused on free thought and expression, so long as you are not a total and complete asshole. Might be worth a look.
somethinggoingon2@reddit
Unfortunately that instance has weird sign up requirements.
DiligentGarbage@reddit
Literally, just requires you to prove that you are human and that you have an interest in that instance specifically. It's honestly not hard to get in at all.
somethinggoingon2@reddit
It shouldn't be necessary.
verbuffpink@reddit
You seem awful and you make the Fediverse sound great. Go use 4chan!
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
You need mental help.
verbuffpink@reddit
You’re getting kicked out of federated news apps and letting it ruin your day. I’m happy and rubbernecking the dunks. You should be asking me for life advice babe
somethinggoingon2@reddit
I mean, you're suggesting a completely different platform just because he doesn't want censorship that fits an agenda.
Judging by your second paragraph, you let him ruin your day.

The paradox of tolerance is misused. It never meant that you should ban any intolerance.

Ya Beehaw seems like its on track to fail as a social network. I got a rejection as well. I had a clear explanation for joining.
Not sure what they want to hear but clearly they want people that fit their particular needs instead of everyday people.
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
I'm starting to think they are looking people's usernames and emails when they sign up. To see if you ever posted something they are against
carterx@reddit
They already lost me for a potential replacement.
Fantastic-Cat-1214@reddit
The same thing happened here? Rightwing subreddits have gotten so out of control they had to be put down. Even revolution memes on chapotraphouse got that sub shut down. This is just a part of the way the internet works now. Look at Twitter. Conservatives went from crying about censorship and oppression to gleefully blowing up the use of the n-word, harassing accounts, and exploding underage pornographic material.
'polite debate' is over on the internet for the majority of people.
sharydow@reddit
So you mean that Lemmy has efficient moderation and forcing the maga types of people out of the big servers for them to self host?
Sounds like it's working as intended, good advertising.
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
Found a beehaw admin. Go on back to your safe space before someone hurts your feelings
sharydow@reddit
No the beehaw situation kinda sucks. Ruud is a good admin, I have high hopes for lemmyworld
But the block is temporary, it's a literal nothing burger kbinsocial was isolated from EVERYONE at first and it's doing fine now. Beehaw will federate again
Also if you think you van post hatespeech to lemmyworld or any of the big lemmies run by mastodon admins you are dead wrong
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
Sorry I don't believe any of that bullshit. And what is with this assumption that people want to spread Hate speech?
When what you really mean is "No speech we disagree with'
Beehaw is a toxic elitist psychotic cult.
And people are noticing it and want no part of it.
It's a good thing they defederated, they give the fediverse a bad name.
Uhk yuk good riddance
Sabrees@reddit
Here are all the free speech instances. They don't block anything: https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists/100.percent.csv

Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
Thank you!
Sabrees@reddit
They are all cesspools full of horrible shit.
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
Why would you send me that ? What's wrong with you ?
Sabrees@reddit
The logical conclusion of your argument is that you want to be able to see everything. 'Free speech' so there it is. That's what you get to look at.
Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
No, that's YOUR conclusion so let's make that clear
Sabrees@reddit
Are you out of your safe space?
Sabrees@reddit
There are some horrible people on the internet. You either block them, or look at their shit. That's the choice.
Sabrees@reddit
Reasonable humans prefer the Nazis and child porn to be de-federated.
mandallaz@reddit
beehaw just rejected my query for subscription. I explained in which subreddits I am active and hope to find same communities, but It was not what they want.
Hello, from Beehaw!
We appreciate your interest in using Beehaw.
Your application was rejected. It's likely because it did not contain enough information for us to make a judgment call on if you're a good pick for Beehaw.

Karlor_Gaylord_Cries@reddit (OP)
I'm not surprised. You dodged a bullet honestly, those ppl are out of touch with reality and quite honestly extremely insane.
They go to other instances using alt accounts harassing people in the comments when they get called out on their bullshit
