That's disappointing, I liked Beehaw from what they have posted as their official ideas / methodology. Did they give any reasoning for why sealioning is a bad thing? I can't think of any reason why asking for evidence could be a bad thing, in fact I'd personally want to encourage it.

I don't think putting the responsibility of combining them on the user will work well. That might be great for power users but your average user will want to join an instance and get a news community with whatever news communities are well behaved.
I really like it so far and I love that it theoretically avoids the problems we had with reddit ever arising in the future. I'm a bit worried it might be a bit too complicated for normal users. But I guess we'll have to see. I'm also a bit worried about it from a security perspective, what's stopping someone making a hostile instance or faking a lemmy instance to get people to click malicious links? They can be hosted on any website so you can't really know.
I definitely get what you mean and I think the idea that you can get away with no censorship is naive. However, they could just as easily be talking about r/conservatives use of conservative only posts and their banning of anyone sharing opposing viewpoints.
What advantage would switching to crypto have? I'm not well versed in how Lemmy works yet but I don't see why Lemmy would need blockchain.
I have the same issue, when I try to log in it just spins. Might be because my BeeHaw account isn't accepted yet tho. Not sure I assume its just cause the servers are melting.
Cool, I guess it's time to uninstall boost then. Guess I'm on Lemmy for the foreseeable future!
I love the idea of Lemmy and I'm really hoping it can take off. I'd be more than happy to donate to an instance to help keep it ad-free and free from corporate influence. Good luck!
I switched to DuckDuckGo a while ago and haven't regretted it at all. I honestly barely notice the difference. Realistically I should switch to firefox next but I'm pretty ingrainded in google chrome admittedly.
