Well I won’t fault you but that seriously hampers my experience using Lemmy so guess I’ll go make another account on another instance.
Edit: the more I recreate my account the more annoyed I am by this, you literally have the communities everyone joined and just ripped them away from most of Lemmy’s user base. Not cool.

And people act like I’m crazy for not alexaing up my whole home despite being the one they come to for tech stuff, like you’d think that alone would be enough to dissuade people but guess not.

It’s certainly not cool. They could have just put out the call for some help instead of deciding to fuck a bunch of Lemmy users who’ve just been joining the biggest community for a given topic - a community frequently on beehaw. But they want a walled garden so I guess that’s what they’re going to get. It sucks because I joined this instance specifically because I felt like it wouldn’t be infested with fuckin’ Nazis and hateful people like every other reddit alternative since forever, I didn’t think that meant it would be walled off because of that pursuit. Here we are though, I personally will avoid beehaw communities from now on even when they refederate with the instance I’ve moved to, I don’t want to post a bunch in the music community (like I have been) just to wake up and find it gone. I know I said I don’t fault them but the more I get into moving and seeing how it affects non beehaw users the more yeah I really kinda do.
Edit: I’ve removed my content from this instance, I will leave this here as reasoning.
