Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

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
edit: spelling
Oof, yeah. That's not great. At least we have Beehaw 🐝🤠
I GET IT! BEE HAW!!
🤣 I'm glad I could be here to witness your realization lmao
I don't know how I managed to take so long LMAO
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?
Beehaw is a pun of yeehaw, the thing cowboys say. Hence the bee with a cowboy hat as a mascot.
The bee also has a lasso.
Beehaw, welcome to the Yeehive
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.
The like one dude running sh.it.do.nt.wo.rk is in over his head I think.
