From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Relevant defederation thread (their reasoning is kinda bad imo)... https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Thanks for sharing this link. That clarified it nicely. I think its a bit odd considering they literally stopped approving new accounts at the same time as defederating. But again, they seem to have a clear vision in mind for all of this and that's fine. On the flip side, this disqualified them from any large support community that might want to migrate over as the reach is going to be limited. Mastodon has the same issue with people asking to defederate the main instance all the time...
It's not dumb. The current moderation tools were not enough for the mods to stop the incoming spam from lemmy.world. If things improve, they will de-defederate again.
but.. the modlog is public.. there wasnt a huge swathe of users banned or modded by beehaw
I may be wrong, but wasn't it a pre-emptive measure because they were afraid of the open registrations on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?
So basically, shit reasoning. They defederated because something might happen. A lot of things might happen. That's no reason to not do things in life.
Lol they wanted to be one of the biggest instances, and now are complaining because they are big. Thats basically it
