Can someone break down the whole Beehaw controversy?

To be very brief:

Beehaw seeks primarily to protect its users and create a space where they aren't going to be attacked for being who they are.

The Beehaw admins noticed they were dealing with a lot of hate from 2 lemmy instances which had open sign ups.

Beehaw defederated from those 2 instances.

There's been some kickback from people who think defederating goes against the core values of Lemmy.

That's all I've got, I'm sure others will be able to add to this

Reminder it's Father's day tomorrow!

I got him a bag of coffee. Unfortunately I then discovered another bag of coffee I got him for the last occasion that I forgot to give him

So a trip to John Lewis later and he's got a rice cooker. Luckily my sister isn't in the city so as long as I see him I win by default

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
