In the long run they are hoping for more flexibility. I think it is incorrect that they are separating from “all the major instances” but they are separating from (two) servers with open account creation. I personally think an instance admin should be informed when their users are being banned from other instances, so they have the option to review behavior and consider if they would like to do the same. Sh.itjust.works at least has instance rules that should be compatible with most of what beehaw doesn’t like.
They do want similar features that are available on mastodon, that essentially allow their users to interact with the outside world but the ability limit what comes in. It’s still a disingenuous take though, as it has nothing to do with image hosting, not allowing people to view their content, etc. They just don’t want assholes.
It was an issue in Mastodon originally too, but Mastodon added more flexibility to the platform and the nuke option wasn't the only option.
Mostly interface, some say it is more simple. It does both the aggregation and communities like Lemmy and microblogging. It also does some sort of microblogging related to the individual communities but I don’t really understand how that feature works.
Somebody could use it instead of lemmy or mastodon, but it also federates to them so nobody misses out.
Unless something changed, deleting your account shouldn’t delete the content you created so it shouldn’t make much difference in that regard. There have been scripts that went through your history and would change / delete every comment though.
It is federated, but its own thing.
They are the primary corporate sponsor for Wine and employ many of the developers. so... a lot.
That includes people it knows about from Federated servers.
For the real numbers you need to use their nodeinfo, for example: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0
Kbin has 30119 right now.
