Not necessarily. From what I understand, it's about lemmy/kbin not vetting users. Because they were a a more heavily moderated community (by design) it's harder for them to keep that standard with other federated instances. Instead of trying to combat the population increase platforms have received, they defederated while the "riff raff" gets sorted out. If they are willing to re-federate in the future, I'm sure they'll be back. It's just the influx of users makes it harder for their small team to moderate content.
This is how federation works, though. It's by design. If you are wanting to see that content, you are able to move to a different instance (or even beehaw, if they are still taking applications), or to one that is still federated with them.
Yeah, I don't really see this as a drama.
Beehaw and lemmy.world have different goals. Beehaw said that this isn't a permanent ruling nor a judgement on said communities - merely a practicality to meet their goals. Lemmy's moderation tools and the moderation staffs are just unable to keep up with the rate of new users currently.
The decision will be revisited in the future, when both of these things have time to catch up. It sucks, but neither side is wrong here.
I'm getting a little bit mixed signals, as it seems beehaw mods are little quick to moderate users, which to be fair, you specifically signed up for. Beehaw can moderate how they want. I think it's just partly because so many came at once, people filtered to what was available regardless of if they agreed with the platform rules heavily or not. You just went where you went to get in. It'll get sorted eventually
Kbin? I thought they were only defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?
AFAIK it is only lemmy.world and SJW, but I mentioned kbin because it was another instance that was receiving a lot of new users along with those other platforms.
