On May 1st 2021, [[Prude]] quietly launched [[BEEFYBOYS.club]] in his ongoing efforts to decentralize much of The WIDEVERSE, in hopes to avoid The Final Bop. Much of his experience and reference for setting up the instance came from Alex Gleason, developer of the software the site uses, and Graf, a fellow admin of one of the larger Right leaning instances, Poast. Poast had not long been on Fedi, only launched in January of the same year, but had quickly become the landing spot for many right leaning personalities fleeing Gab and Twitter. This included [[Prude]] in his initial exploration of the platform. As such, there was a natural friendship between the users of BB.C and Poast in those early days, with Graf occasionally lending assistance with Prude's early troubleshooting. Additional members of [[Beefy Boys]] trickled in thereafter. | On May 1st 2021, [[Prude]] quietly launched [[BEEFYBOYS.club]] in his ongoing efforts to decentralize much of The WIDEVERSE, in hopes to avoid [[The Final Bop]].

That ace proved to be a picture of Borzoi's Jewish wife, an ironic relationship given his much proclaimed hatred of Jews. Immediately he flew into a rage, sources saying he sent 100s of angry DMs to Graf, demanding he defederated Tyler lest the podcasters pull their sizeable financial contributions from the site. Graf, being completely beholden to the Podcast Race, willingly obliged, powerless to disobey. Poast was in utter shambles at the sight of a single JPG.

Prude and [[Jack]], | Prude and [[Jack]], attempting to play Good Cops, reasoned with Graf and succeeded in getting BB.W refederated, albeit with Tyler and Succ remaining individually defederated. Despite this, Poasters still in a rage at their idol being attacked, spared no mercy in their assault on the two for daring to stand up for their friend. This gradually cooled into an armistice which lasted for a few days, before Prude, in a hellthread with [[Eris]], answered his demands for anti-Poast action by offering in jest to join any large instances that defederated Poast in solidarity. This was intended to put the onus of action for unrealistic schemes back on Eris. In an unrelated later thread, Graf then posted an out of context screenshot of Prude's "blockade" post and began referring to Prude a snake, obviously having taken the theoretical scenario personally. As Graf became increasingly hysterical and the discoure degenerated, Prude and Jack both likewise enough and joining with their fallen comrades in sending a final message and posting NOSE.JPG, getting BB.W defederated once and for all on its own terms. | ||
