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
It was due to their (our) open admission policy.
They wanted a more curated experience, and we’re concerned that our instances would be full of trolls and bots
Honestly that strikes me as perfectly reasonable of Beehaw.
Maybe a little kneejerk to de-federate preemptively, but given their stated moderation goals I totally get it.
