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 believe we should de-federate just to save confusion for new members.

for instance, a new user going to "communities" (all).. 4 of the top 9 communities are homed with Beehaw

But there is no indication to the user that you wont actually be interacting with all of those people, you will be joining a community that may say x number of members but will actually be restricted to your local instance.

Its confusing.,

It also restricts alternatives to those rooms from establishing and growing.

I honestly think its crucial we de-federate asap.
