Seems like the system is working just fine!

Doing that on Jerboa right now. It’s great!
Choice is the point of federation.
Being able to create spaces according to your needs without having your hand forced by anyone is kind of the point of the Fediverse. Beehaw can cultivate a community that fits what they want, just like Lemmy.world. That’s what it’s for.
There’s nothing stopping you from registering on Beehaw if you want to post there and contribute to that community. But without being able to detach themselves from instances that have open registration, there’s no way to even slow trolls down. Banning would be meaningless, because you can register as many accounts as you could want.
The point of the Fediverse is decentralization and choice where the default options have been a bland toxic mess.
Personally, I enjoy both the more cultivated environment of Beehaw and the bigger community feeling of Lemmy.world, so I registered with both Beehaw and Lemmy.blahaj.zone so that i can post and read whatever.
It’s not about what’s better, it’s about choice.
It still sucks though. It doesn’t play nice with dark mode on Windows at all. I’ve been trying to get away from Google docs and I was hoping Libre would be a decent alternative, but it just feels bloated and clunky in comparison. I really wish it didn’t.
If anyone has alternatives I’m all ears.
