I didn’t know that beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world. Can you ELI5 what this means for us?
I just migrated to lemmy.world , and I had quite a few beehaw community subscriptions. How does it affect my interaction?
formerly u/therealjaluvshuskies on reddit :)

I completely understand and respect your opinion, but I just disagree on a personal level - and I think there is a very valid compromise to still achieve this, by redirection. It would obviously suck a lot for people who just want to find information, so they can still get it. Just take them away from reddit
Like most of us probably, I exclusively used reddit for finding information about literally anything. Google search algorithm is straight hot garbage it’s embarrassing lol
If we want other non-corporate owned thread-like platforms to be successful and for reddit to “not get away with this” I personally think this has to be done. Otherwise it’s just still a free database of information that we as the users provided for free, and reddit will continue to profit off of. It’s my personal stance on it, but I think it’s not right, and I believe the extreme majority of people either won’t or won’t know how to use reddit as a search engine without giving them profits
My solution is to rewrite all of my comments, but for anything that I provided a solution for (or guide), I will redirect them to the same information, but not on reddit. For example, I wrote a full blown returning player guide (like 18 pages) for the game Vindictus, so I’m moving it to google docs. I will inform the discord, in addition to linking the google doc on the reddit OP, and possibly also reference a Lemmy post, give insightful information, etc
Most of my comments though are just discussions though, not many fixes or solutions. So that’s what I’m planning on doing
Thanks for the reply, that actually blows since there’s a few super populated subs over there that I’m part of. I suppose I’ll leave those and try to find a different one in an instance that’s federated with lemmy.world
