Hey Beehaw Mods,

Thanks for standing up to the rules that were set in place before the influx of users like myself that have recently joined. Morals and ethics do have dilemmas when upholding them, and I can certainly understand the frustrations, what-ifs, and anxiety that might be going through your conversations about deciding to defederate, if/when to (re)federate(?) with those specific instances or new instances in the future. Beehaw was my first experience with this type of communication outside of Reddit, and I believe yall have made the correct choice given the ungranulated mod tools that are currently available.

I personally don’t know if these groups could prepare of an influx until it immediately happened. So there’s probably tons of new issues to tackle. Thanks for taking the time to address them so your previous community members and new users like me can enjoy this experience.

The observational, although anecdotal, subjectivity from reading other’s posts is that of frustration, and probably confusion over federation and defederation. There are so many new people, including myself, that have or have not read up on what those terms mean. Yall and many in this community have made multiple efforts to explain what those terms mean, as well as the benefits and consequences of them. We should do our due-diligence to understand what we’re registering for when we provide a website with a username, email, and create a password.

Thanks for standing by your decision and supporting the previous rules that were provided well before we arrived. Coming from a long-term RiF user, it is refreshing seeing this site provide proof in the pudding. This isn’t the same as reddit (or what was reddit to me - RiF), and people need to understand that. I prefer apps as I use my laptop for work and study, so the Jerboa app has made operating with federation/defederation actually pretty easy to work with.

Yee Haw for Beehaw? Thanks again. I don’t know if yall needed to read this, but you’re doing a pretty good job and it’s actually quite impressive given the current climate.

I’ve heard of the oil separating. Any culinary scientists know how that works???

Never tried vegemite. World market may sell some though. Any brand you might recommend?

Made like a casserole? Sounds awesome!

There use to be a baked potato place down the street from us, but it got covid’d. I grill mine and smother with whatever I can find in the fridge.

Yup my mouth watered. I don’t like the blue takis for some reason. I cover the red ones with Valentina. Messy but good.

Agreed, you can’t go wrong with a big greasy pizza.

I get into a tres leches craving mode occasionally. Super easy cake to make! I do homemade frosting too with heavy whipping cream and top it with fruit. Awful for you but it tastes so good.

Extremely subjective, ha!

I make about two cans worth of water chestnuts. That will last me a few days, or hours if i need them to.

I asked a question in one of the food threads(?) Forums(?) Lemmy instances(?) About ingredients about a type of food I can only get when I drive several hours away. I felt like it was received and answered without the memes and better-than-you tonality, which I felt was just nice and welcoming.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that butter chicken is also known as murgh makhani. murgh makhani is different than Masada because the gravy or sauce is made different or has some different ingredients.

At least that’s what sounds right in my head
