Given the approach/philosophy of Beehaw, I'm kind of confused and surprised by the choice of Lemmy for building this community space. Not that I disagree with it, but it undeniably complicates administration/moderation in a variety of ways thanks to federation (as has become apparent with new Lemmy instances & the population surge) and its modest development only compounds those complications through lack of sufficient tools.

Was this something of a hindsight is 20/20 situation, wherein with more consideration, something else may have been adopted? Or has it been banking on some optimism in federated communities becoming the new norm?

I've read over some of the philosophy/thinking posts regarding Beehaw, but so far as I recall this technical choice wasn't a focal point in them. Sorry if I overlooked some explanations, though!

Well, some projects do have a better focus on moderation at least from the faraway lantern I'm standing on.
