I vote stay.
#SayNoToLexit
I’d much prefer to stay federated with lemmy, even if the backend changes. Lemmy communities are already niche enough as it is, and the content helps it from feeling dead.
I’m sticking with Beehaw, thanks to some awfully crap communities (courtesy of Lemmy) showing up in the ‘all’ feed. I’m continually blocking them, but somehow they’ll be back a few days later.
And before you scream at me to ‘stick to subscribed’, how else am I supposed to find interesting content?
I know that I’m not going to want to see a lot of subs, I understand that.
Just don’t want them back once I’ve (supposedly) blocked them.
I know it’s an issue that possibly only affects me, but if Beehaw jumps ship from Lemmy, the crap will be a lot easier to manage.
That’s my €2 anyway.
YMMV
And before you scream at me to ‘stick to subscribed’, how else am I supposed to find interesting content?
There is a search function, just search for what you’re interested in and subscribe to the community.
I keep using Beehaw between Subscribed and Local, not touching All with a ten foot pole. As far as concerned, federation is for people to come to Beehaw, or for me to go to a few hand picked external communities.
I’m probably leaving regardless unfortunately. this place, whole far better than the rest of lemmy, is way too cynical for my tastes. at least on reddit I got to escape the negativity of the world, on here I’m just constantly being reminded of it in every single news/politics/tech/science thread.
I feel similarly, although I left reddit initially (this was before the API changes) because of its own brand of cynicism, which I found was almost inescapable, even in small subs or posts which shouldn’t have ridiculous arguments.
The problem is that, while initially this instance didn’t have much of it, it’s reaching a similar point.
I think that the people who will migrate with Beehaw are more likely to be the ones who want to get away from that shit, though. (I’ve also noticed that a lot, but definitely not all, of the more toxic comments seem to be from users on other instances.)
Best we can do here is block communities (it’s been a lot more pleasant for me since I blocked the news communities here), but it doesn’t solve everything.
I’m finding some old school forums on a couple of my private trackers to be a lot better at times, honestly. (Lol, one of them even completely removed their “Serious Discussion” subforum after Jan 6 and banned political discussion entirely because it resulted in too much toxic bullshit.)
I would miss y’all.
Are there any plans of leaving? Why? What for? Is this just a random shower thought?
Ouch, thanks. FWIW, I’d probably just say goodbye to the fediverse if beehaw leaves. That would be the straw that brings me back to Reddit.
Reddits content has gone downhill since the big migration. Even smaller communities are restricted to mostly shitposts, memes , drama or a mix of those. I tried checking it a while back and it’s incredibly bad. If we vote yes for Lexit I’d probably go to whatever platform the admins pick.

Can’t confirm for those I subscribe to. It’s mostly less content than before, but not markedly worse, and still not shitposts and memes which were never allowed.

I’m not a direct beehaw member, I host my own instance, and this is the only way Lemmy is acceptable to me. Beehaw simply has slightly better average members than most other instances, so losing those is what would make me say goodbye.
Yes, that was it, thank you.
I thought I read that the mods were having some issues with the lack of appropriate moderation tools and were potentially looking for a new home for BH. Also the Lemmy developers, I guess, are not prioritising the creation of said tools.
Stay for sure.
As I said in the OG thread, I will stick with beehaw, but I’d also keep an eye on the fediverse with an alt. I would also support an eventual return to federation when/if some of the issues have been sorted.
For those who support the proposed move, this isn’t about mere technical issues. It’s about safety - it’s very easy right now for a bad actor to cause a lot of damage the way things are set up. The reasons things are as good as they are here is the tireless work of the admins and mods and they if they say enough is enough I believe them.
While I think something like the fediverse is where the internet is going, Lemmy on activity pub may or may not be the way. Well just have to see. I’m not gonna leave a positive community in favour of a certain tech, that’s backwards.
