Beehaw is the third largest instance (midwest.social is an instance). Beehaw decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks, after some users from those instances were brigading beehaw posts, since they don't have good enough mod tools to address it the way they'd like.
It should be a temporary measure until better mod tools are developed, and at that point they will consider refederating with those instances
In the meantime, that means users from those instances can't interact with Beehaw users, and vice versa
