I have to agree, I never used the VA features. I was prepared to have issues with banking apps and such but found myself not having issues with even those.

Apparently they we’re contractually obligated to include that, which is why there’s an option to snooze it at all. I’m sure they’ll get rid of it eventually.

Yes I’m with you there. It reminded me a lot of the common reactionary strategy of purposefully misinterpreting a question in to make the question asked sound unreasonable. Trying to paint it as though promoting them equally with all the other instances is a neutral action/position.

I’m also quite unnerved by the responses to @Gaywallet@beehaw.org in regards to the promotion of instances that spread bigoted ideas and harrass other instances on join-lemmy.

The complete disregard seems to run counter to the ideology that beehaw is built on. It becomes clearer to me as time goes on that beehaw and lemmy have very different (and in some cases opposite) goals and priorities in mind. I for one would be completely onboard for a switch. I’ve admittedly used beehaw and lemmy in general less and less as the moderation issues and shift of tone in conversations have increased.

I think the admins and moderators of beehaw have been doing a wonderful job with the hand dealt regardless.

Love David Graeber’s work. Bullshit Jobs is iconic.

What’s the source on that? That’s a pretty big accusation but I’d certainly want to know if it’s true.
