Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    If they wanted an echo chamber they would have defederated from all other instances.

    I’m sure they have a reason,whether it’s the correct decision is another matter.

      To be fair, they are pretty highly defederated compared to most instances.

      it’s just because the mod tools aren’t where they need to be yet and beehaw does a lot of work to protect minorities. the mods weren’t really happy with having to defederate and they plan on refederating once the tools are better or we get settled in
