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

    Yeah man beehaw is supposed to be like a safe space for minorities and stuff. It’s been around for a while and is strictly moderated. Once all this Reddit shit calms down and there are better moderation tools on the lemmy side they’ll rejoin - it’s just too much to deal with without the right tools right now Ave they are still working on making the tools.

    This Reddit shit sped up a lot of stuff that was already in the works.

      Ah ok, thanks for that. That’s a shame though, so far what I’ve seen of Lemmy has been so much less toxic than Reddit, you’d hope it wasn’t necessary for them to defederate. However if they feel it is necessary, then fair enough I guess.

        Well, by definition you don’t see the crap that moderators are removing, so it’s hard to say how toxic it has truly been from their perspective.
