As a new user is there somewhere I can understand more about this defederation stuff? I'm just picking it up as I go and trying to piece it together

I guess just follow the meta posts of the big communities.

From what I understood:

Nearly all the big instances defederated exploding-heads, which is one of those "we do not restrict your speech" instances (which we know is just a dogwhistle for nazis are welcomed here)
Beehaw defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because they didn't want the flood of July 1st users to go shitpost in their subs until better moderation tools are available.

That's all for now I guess.

This is basically it. People are making it into a bigger deal than it is. Beehaw is specifically and purposely created as a safe space. That’s been their mission statement from the beginning. It’s incredibly easy to not make an account there if you’re not into that mission.
