What are your thoughts on Beehaw defederating? (lemm.ee)

My first account on the fediverse was on Beehaw and I was happy with it, but defederating from two of the largest instances gave me a reason to find a new instance. Personally I understand and respect the decision -that is the point of the fediverse afterall.

They had a lot of good communities that will not be cut off from the fastest growing instances which will make things tough to rebuild I think.

Yup. News, Politics, Gaming, Technology are just a few I had joined. This feels like a major blow to this whole Fediverse thing if it’s trying to retain momentum from what Reddit is doing, since a lot of the more populous instances just got cut off on the larger instances.

I get where they’re coming from, but like… way to try to sabotage the entire system, I guess.

It does seem like a major flaw in the whole thing if you can just lose access to a community you've become part of because you happened to sign up on the wrong instance.

There should be an option to make another instance "read-only". Example- people from lemmy.world can view/subscribe to beehaw communities but can't vote/comment (and vice versa). That would have been slightly better.
