Has Beehaw stated why lemmy.ml and kbin.social were spared, but lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works were defederated when all four share similar growth and open registration? (beehaw.org)

(Posting to lemmy.world seems to be disabled so I'm posting this here instead.)

This inconsistency has been bothering me, so I went poking around in their support community, and the best I could find was a statement saying they had reached out to the admins of both. Apparently they expected @[email protected] to reply to something that didn't seem like a question as indicated by his response in Beehaw Support. As such, they claim to have no roadmap to eventually refederate with lemmy.world.

I added a reply from another instance, but I'm guessing I won't receive a reponse so if anyone knows, I would like to better understand the issue. It's quite annoying feeling like I'm missing out, especially when I'm seeing inflammatory overly generalized statements from kbin.social users about how lemmy.world deserved to be defederated over in this post on lemmy.ml.

Not sure about the situation with Lemmy.ml other than they've been linked longer than any of the newer instances (so maybe have a better sense for how the admins/mods there are willing to handle things, but with Kbin.social it wasn't being federated for awhile as they worked on just getting the instance more fully online (a testament to how new-ish its software is, I think).

So I think they simply had more experience and trust that Lemmy.ml would handle things on their end, and Kbin.social simply wasn't being federated just yet when they made their decision.

So why isn't kbin.social defederated now? They are federated, open, and growing. The only sin that lemmy.world had was it was reliable.

Tbh I'd say give it some time; if they see a similar spike in undesired posters/comments from there, they'll probably defederate from them. I can only speculate that so far they just haven't yet.

They may also be reevaluating their approach, but not being on their team, I don't have any special insights, only some informed guesses/speculation.
