Begründung ist wohl der hohe Moderationsaufwand bei Föderationen mit Instanzen mit offener Anmeldung. Ich weiß nicht was ich davon halten soll, als beehaw-User würde es mich auf jeden Fall glaube ich ziemlich nerven und mich dazu bewegen, mich stattdessen auf lemmy.world oder sh.itjust.works zu registrieren. Ich bin jedenfalls froh, als feddit.de User nicht direkt betroffen zu sein, auch wenn das Ganze wahrscheinlich eher zu mehr Fragmentation führen wird und mich somit früher oder später doch betreffen wird.

Zusammenfassung von ChatGPT:

The decision was made due to concerns about the sustainability of accommodating the influx of new users and the challenges of moderation. The open registration policy of the two instances allows for trolling, harassment, and undesirable behavior, which conflicts with the goal of maintaining a safe space for users. The disproportionate number of moderator actions required against users from these instances and the inability to assess their adherence to the community's ethos were also factors. The text acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the decision but emphasizes the intention to build a better space and reassess the possibility of refederation in the future.

Und hier ein Statement der lemmy.world-Admins:

ChatGPT Zusammenfassung:

The text discusses the concept of federation and defederation within the context of the Lemmy platform. It explains that federation allows posts to be hosted on multiple instances and kept in sync through ActivityPub. The "true" version of a post is hosted on the instance that created the community. Defederation means that certain instances are no longer sharing updates with each other.

The text highlights the implications of defederation, such as comments not being visible between defederated instances and posts not being shared across instances. Users on defederated instances can still interact within their own instance but may find interactions with other instances limited or pointless.

The author expresses frustration with the decision to defederate, believing it to be detrimental to beehaw.org users and potentially leading to their departure from the platform. They criticize the beehaw instance owners for not fully understanding the consequences of defederation.
