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, many subreddits were/are getting ridiculous in this area. Silencing people is not the way. I’d rather openly discuss why something that’s said was shitty then pretend the person never said it.
This said, astro-turfing is a thing, and that is a downside to low or no moderation…
