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

    No they were getting a large influx of trolls and spam from communities with open sign ups so they temporarily defederated as a way to protect the instance. Not sure I wouldve made the same call but I can absolutely understand why they did it and we shouldn’t have any ill will towards beehaw at all in my opinion.
