Why did Beehaw defederate it? I’m out of the loop…
Here is the post on Beehaw announcing the defederation from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world
Tldr; there is a lack of moderating tools for this platform and given the community that Beehaw wants to create they cannot federate with large open-regestration instances. A few bad actors on these two instances were causing too much moderation hassle so they decided to defederate. They also wish for more granular federation controls akin to Mastodon, to avoid the nuclear option of defederation. At the time they also only had 4 moderators for the entire instance (people can't create their own communities)
Since then they have gotten more mods, and TheDude (our instance admin) has reached out to beehaw and they are currently collaborating which will likely lead to refederation (more can be found in this post on Beehaw)
Edit: I had some issues making this reply, so if you see this pop up more than once i sincerely apologize.
