Like many of you, I was looking for Reddit alternative and have settled here and on Squabbles.io. Still not 100% on how the Fediverse and Kbin work, but I'm learning.

Beehaw is tapping into that text side of social media. Something I haven't seen much talked about is sometimes I don't want to see only pictures or video like Instagram and tiktok. Reddit facilitated conversation primarily through the comments and that's something I see replicated here and that's a great thing, think it will give it long term legs!

Temporarily, until the Rexxit flood eases off and better moderation tools are developed.

No worries. Don’t pay too much attention to the apoplectic posts from people who’ve been in the Fediverse for a couple days and don’t understand how it works yet. Federating and defederating while wrinkles are worked out is just part of the whole shebang, and has been going on for years here.

Ahh ok. None of them defederated from Lemmy.ca so I’m cool.

Rexxit

Are you trying to avoid some kind of account-flagging or something?

No. It’s a pun on “Brexit” that is getting used a lot.

“Brexit” was a silly term being used when the UK was debating leaving the EU. Britain + Exit = Brexit
