Edit: I just saw your post about the bot signups a few days ago. I think this was the driving force behind the defederating. But it sounds like you already have resolved the issue with removals and captcha. Beehaw said in their post that admins can email them to discuss, so maybe you can persuade them to refederate us since you've taken countermeasures against the bots?
If you truly want to see "everything", it's best to join a small instance that is federated with everybody. I joined an instance called Rammy. It's nothing special in and of itself, just one guy nice enough to host the server. But I can interact with Beehaw, Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Lemmy NSFW, all of it. So if that's what you want, join a small instance.
Just to give perspective on how rapacious the textbook industry has become:
When I was in nursing school (graduated in May), even though I "purchased" the textbooks, it turned out what I purchased was only a license to access the textbook through their proprietary e-reader app for the semester. As soon as the semester was over, my access to the textbook disappeared.
This is the model that the textbook companies want. No more reselling used books to even recover a small portion of funds.
And just to add to that, anyone who has installed Linux before knows that everything isn't guaranteed to just work out of the box. Laptop WiFi cards, for example, frequently have driver issues. So it's not quite as simple as OP is saying, even with PCs.
If a community doesn't yet exist on the Fediverse for a given topic, can we create a community on Rammy, or is community creation limited to the admin?
Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.
I wouldn't try to make too much sense out of Beehaw's decisions. I don't quite understand what they're going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there's a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to "be nice" lol
Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.
I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I'm not a socialist.
Start posting magnet links to Nintendo Switch ROMs on r/piracy, and write "endorsed by Reddit, Inc" with a screenshot of the messages from Reddit encouraging the reopening.
He comes across like an entitled child who has made up his mind and is too stubborn to admit when he's wrong. Add onto that the fact that he bullies people with his lies and manipulation. Very much not an adult, let alone a CEO.
Here is the "after" picture to satisfy your brain.
Djokkum, did you see that Beehaw just defederated with us?

They're still having issues and I get a 404 error when I click on it 😞

This is why piracy of textbooks is thriving.
This is so awesome

Thank you!
This is actually hilarious that Reddit is so threatened by Lemmy that they are actively trying to intimidate people from posting a link. What a joke.

I am ready and armed with Thomas the Tank Engine memes.

Welcome aboard! 🏴☠️
What's the combat like? I feel like that's not a spoiler. In just curious if it's similar to FF7R or what?

I like lemmy.world because it seems to be neutral and doesn't have heavy handed moderators. Communities are allowed to bloom and grow. It's scalable.
I respect what Beehaw wants to do, but their goals are not realistic if they want to be a platform of any significant size.
So far I also like the communities I've seen on Lemmy.ml, but there have been a lot of technical/server issues.
I know about Bombardier but didn't know there were others!

How was the streaming performance for the classics?
I've never streamed a game before.
