Would this mean that there'll be no access to communities on Beehaw?
Could someone list the popular communities in Beehaw and their alternatives on other instances?
I think that'd be useful.

Maybe making an account in a big instance is not that great of an idea after all. What benefit does it actually have?
100%. The best instance to be on is actually your own. Failing that, a small one where the admins are easy to get a hold of.
Big ones that offer extra goodies might become a thing ala Gmail, but I expect they will vet and monitor their users so nobody has to block them.
Edit: Annoyingly, I can't respond to Kbin users,
At some point they will change to whitelist, which will ban all single user instance as well.
The root problem is that identity is tied to an instance at all. For a federated system, the lack of federated identity / single sign on is baffling.

There's a possible future where major fediverse sites switch to whitelisted federation to deal with spam etc. At that point, your small instance would have to petition all the major players to be let in. That would probably kill off most small instances.

big instances are more likely to stay up. smaller instances may just be some random user who might not be as interested in maintaining the site and may end up closing it. this happened to me when I used mastodon, I joined a smaller instance and they ended up shutting down.

Can't bothered beehaw users just simply block the instances they don't like by themselfes? Does this have to be instance-wide?

It‘s the bubble concept I already curated for myself on Reddit by filtering out what feels like half the website. Except now I can sort of choose my pre-made bubble, which is more effort to be certain (have to research the admins of a chosen instance a bit and understand their rules and values), but I don‘t mind that.
Do subscribed users from the blocked instances still count against their communities' totals?

Ok so which instance is not slow and still has access to most content?

I was really enjoying some of Beehaw's communities... Can TheDude request a re-federation?
