wow, they really are defederating. I think this is a major blow against the reddit replacement side of the fediverse. But then again the beehaw mods were always a bit draconic in their moderation, with forbidding dislikes and creating new communities, i think its just a matter of time until they defedarate completely from everyone since the reason they gave basically boils down to: the fediverse is too big for us

To be fair to them, I don't think they ever wanted this. They just happened to be around when Lemmy started exploding. I remember their admins not being happy about being listed as "recommended" on join-lemmy.org

Having 80% of the posts on the home page from 196 is definitely problematic. 196 users really should touch grass and post less

That's against the rule

If I'm on neither of the affected instances, and I'm subscribed to resources in both sides of the defederation, am I affected?

Not much. You might see somewhat confusing threads in which lemmy.world/shitjustworks users reply to BeeHaw users, but the BeeHaw users never respond as they can't see them.

And also BeeHaw communities you participate in might seem a lot more dead
