This sucks, and might be the reason I return to Reddit. This pretty much splits the Lemmy population in two halves

Except not really. I created a new account on lemmy.world once I saw the notice they were defederating. I'm sure I won't be the only one to do that. I liked what they were trying to do over at beehaw but I don't like being cut off from 2 of the biggest instances.

I hope you’re right. I’m just afraid .ml users will see no reason to leave the beehaw communities

[–] Wolfric1982 13 points 2 years ago

If lemmy.ml gets big enough I wouldn't be surprised if beehaw blocks them too. Alternatively what I see happening is that communities will be created here to replace the ones that were on beehaw. I see more people joining an instance that isn't so restrictive which will make the communities bigger than the ones on beehaw
