If you don't know Beehaw.org defederated from us but communities from there that have a copy on this instance are still visible to Us and we can post on them, they can't see what we post or comment on those, and we can't see what they post and comment over there.

they are gost communities hosted on this sv because how Lemmy works, and my question is what will be done about them.

Last I checked, they have defederated 387 instances. That's nuts. They shouldn't be on any list that suggests them as a viable host to sign up with.

Don't defederate them. Let their users be confused as to why no one but beehaw users reply to their posts.

Agree. If you defederate, then you shouldn’t be considered a goto for federation. Probably they don’t expect to be either.
