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

They should've made it much more clear they weren't interested in being a general instance and stopped this before it began. But I suppose now is better than later.

This. Why join the fediverse then? Just host a private web forum if you want to control who can sign up and what communities they can create and who can post what.

Is there more to this story?

https://beehaw.org/post/567170 Presumably the 196 connection is that we are one of the larger communities to migrate from Reddit and thus a large part of this user explosion, but I don't see 196 users being particularly problematic.

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

[-] greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

no, everyone without a beehaw account is safe thankfully, you can still sub to beehaw communities, not sure if you can comment there though

[-] sexy_peach@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

they can participate on beehaw, because their server isn't banned there.

https://beehaw.org/comment/262238 this comment made me think of this meme.

[-] greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I went and replied to that. Honestly, I'm only here because of 196. The rest of reddit can suck a beefy fart out of my arsehole.

[-] vreraan@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

It is their choice, also for this reason there is more freedom in the fediverse.

[-] danakongur 2 points 2 years ago

what exactly does it mean to defederate some instances? is it like an instance just straight up blocking another instance?
