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.

Beehaw has existed for over a year. I'm not sure they'll need to rebuild. This isn't a company that requires constant growth, it's a community. I like the idea of beehaw, and hope that they decide to refederate with the other instances, but I think they'll survive and maybe even thrive without doing so.

That said I'm glad I've got an account that's on none of those three instances

Oh Beehaw absolutely would be fine if the defederation was permanent. By rebuild I was referring to the other instances that use Beehaw as a default for many of their large communities like tech, gaming, news, etc. But from following the situation for a little, Beehaw does not want to make it permanent, as long as the tools become available.
