Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from
https://exploding-heads.com/ [https://exploding-heads.com/]. We understand that
defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block
communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to
vulnerable communities. After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts,
and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads
is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot,
in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes
hate, racism, and bullying. Examples:

- Community Moderator Post Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not
taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a
case-by-case bases. As for our community, please refrain from posting or
commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is
not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments
violating our server rules. Lemmy Code of Conduct

It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it’s just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward
It does seem like .world is trying to corral itself and curb the issues that flared up from their growth, so that’s very promising. Meanwhile, shit just works is still an absolute dumpster fire.
Actually, sh.itjust.works removed their c/thedonald community so they seem to be taking steps in the right direction too. Still probably not time to refederate until more granular mod tools are developed but it’s a promising sign.
Edit: Apparently they haven’t defederated from exploding heads yet, so that is a thing still. Come on sh.itjust.works, just do the thing. Make your instance better for it.
There’s been a vote up in their agora community for over a week now about defederating from the nazi instance. Administrators have done nothing. Not a good look in my opinion
Lmfao I don’t know how you didn’t get it earlier, cause it’s so obvious. But for everyone else who doesn’t understand the joke, not me of course obv but for everyone else, what’s the joke?
I’ve messaged TheDude about that, asking him to consider making a statement about the situation. It’s apparently on his ToDo list, he didn’t anticipate the controversy taking place in that post, and the team and himself are still pondering what’s the best course of action (skimming through the comments manually, re-voting…)
If I’m a bit disillusioned by the community, I still want to believe in his good faith. He seems like a guy who launched a little hobby project on his free time, expecting a few dozen people to join, and is now overwhelmed by having to handle one of the biggest Lemmy instances.

I GET IT! BEE HAW!!
Beehaw, welcome to the Yeehive
🤣 I’m glad I could be here to witness your realization lmao
I don’t know how I managed to take so long LMAO

Beehaw is a pun of yeehaw, the thing cowboys say. Hence the bee with a cowboy hat as a mascot.

The like one dude running sh.it.do.nt.wo.rk is in over his head I think.
Beehaw admins have done a great job of keeping the toxicity to a minimum. I don’t regret my choice of home instance.
? I get nothing but good impressions from shit just works users, content and admins.
