Beehaw didn't defederate because .world is a cesspool. There were a handful of idiots trolling, using .world accounts (and sh.itjust.works), and Beehaw cut contact until the mod tools are up to the task.

Yes, the behaviour of a few hurt a large number of people, but they knew no better way to solve it. It's also not a permanent defed, just a bandaid fix until the tools are better.
