what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?

Yeah, I don't really see this as a drama.

Beehaw and lemmy.world have different goals. Beehaw said that this isn't a permanent ruling nor a judgement on said communities - merely a practicality to meet their goals. Lemmy's moderation tools and the moderation staffs are just unable to keep up with the rate of new users currently.

The decision will be revisited in the future, when both of these things have time to catch up. It sucks, but neither side is wrong here.

I'm getting a little bit mixed signals, as it seems beehaw mods are little quick to moderate users, which to be fair, you specifically signed up for. Beehaw can moderate how they want. I think it's just partly because so many came at once, people filtered to what was available regardless of if they agreed with the platform rules heavily or not. You just went where you went to get in. It'll get sorted eventually
