Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    If they wanted an echo chamber they would have defederated from all other instances.

    I’m sure they have a reason,whether it’s the correct decision is another matter.

      it’s just because the mod tools aren’t where they need to be yet and beehaw does a lot of work to protect minorities. the mods weren’t really happy with having to defederate and they plan on refederating once the tools are better or we get settled in
