beehaw doesn't have moderators, only 4 admins. they have closed signups and try hard to curate a particular style of community. lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works have open signups. some of those users went on beehaw communities to troll, and the amount was too much for beehaw admins to manage in terms of moderation. so they defederated.

Why can't they find mods? Lol

It's not that they can't, it's that they don't want to.

Which is fair enough. Beehaw got started as a side project to putter about with the tech. I respect knowing that you don't want your instance to get too big and sticking to that.
