The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

    For as many marginalised people I’ve met who would feel discomfort around remaining federated, I’ve known just as many that get stressed out and exhausted by conflict over what to them seems like a ‘minor thing’, because of the vitriol, spite, etc. that comes with it. Especially when, as the other person above alluded to, some people seem to get involved in these things specifically for the sake of conflict, rather than any meaningful political stance.)

    This was my problem when I tried mastodon. There was always some drama between instances over some minor thing that people decided was the most important thing in the world

      Yeah, that sounds about right. Honestly, the thing that I find hardest about the internet – and which makes me want to log off indefinitely – is the constant wave of people assuming the absolute worst about everyone, and a kind of ignorance that people can come from different formative experiences without being an enemy.

      Not really sure how we solve that one (though I did choose to sign up here because, ostensibly, it’s a place where jumping the gun on judging people – something that is often performative anyway – is discouraged.)
