First of all, let me say that while the admins can do what they want, I think it's pretty unfortunate that beehaw is defederating from .world and shitjustworks. I don't want to see the fediverse fracture, I want it to encourage conversation with others.

But, beehaw has done what they've done. And I must say it's annoying to be able to see their posts and comments and not engage with them. Plus, I could see their large, still visible communities taking away from ours without people realizing their own posts and comments aren't working.

So will .world be defederating from beehaw? I don't have a horse in the race, I'm jw

I'd much rather keep seeing their content than not. The number 1 reason reddit is useful to me is because of the extremely specific and human information there is. I'd rather be able to look for stuff in one site even if part of it is read-only.

You want to know if pc component A and B work together? Some random person on reddit will have tried it. The normal google results quickly go into auto-generated stuff like the "versus" pages that just compare specs and are completely useless.

I think it might be useful to have a clearer UI about what is happening. So every user that sees content there and wants to participate can go and try to create a user on beehaw. I imagine at some point everything will settle down and federation will be back.
