Yes. They're not on the opposite sides politically, but are on opposite ends of the spectrum for tolerating wack-a-do nonsense.
Yeah, not opposite politically. You described it better.
and how exactly is beehaw totalitarian? ive been very explicit in my language while using beehaw since it was a tiny miny server. is it perfect? oh hell no ive got a lot to say but totalitarian?
One indication is that they defederate several hundred instances, far more than any other Lemmy instance does, and some for no apparent reason and with nothing at all objectionable.
Yeah, they just defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
Although, they did give reasons. Trying to boil down their wall of text, those reasons am to boil down to their perceived difficulty in keeping heehaw a safe space when those other two Ibarra have own registration policies.
I'm a total noob when it comes to this federation stuff, but what does this mean for me, an account-holder of a 3rd party instance (lemmy.world) but likes to subscribe to a lot of the beehaw communities. Will they no longer show up to me? Do I have to jump through additional hoops (I'm really trying to not have to juggle multiple accounts across instances) if I want all my info in one place?
I had the exact same question and got some answers in this post.
The short story seems to be:
I honestly love that this is how defederation works, you can still see the content and even respond to it, it just doesn't reach that original instance.
