Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    Wow so much misinformed hostility against Beehaw here. The mod tools for Lemmy are currently limited and they just want to protect their community from trolls and spam. There’s no conspiracy here to break federation.

      True, but unsubbed from them when it happened because I don’t want to see communities I can’t interact with.

      Why add to the problem and have frustration with wanting to discuss something you are blocked from?

        They have every right to protect themselves against spam. But that said, ever since they defederated, their activity and user numbers are down.
