This is good news, I'm just sad they defederated with so many instances.
I mean, when some of those sites they defederated from are going around proudly announcing they'd rather ban people asking that they defederate from the Nazi instance than the Nazi instance itself, it really drives home how much it was the right decision. We absolutely, under no circumstances, should let this space become just another Nazi bar.
I just checked, and Beehaw has defederated with 388 instances. Either the fediverse is overrun with nazis, or you're making a massive generalization and Beehaw is being ridiculous.
I'm confused on how this works... I'm on lemmy.world, and they list that as a blocked instance on that page... But I can still access beehaw communities no problem from here.
The way federation works is by federated instances making copies of those communities, and syncing them when there are any changes, like when somebody posts a comment.
Defederation disables sync, but the ghost copies still exist on l.w. You can still comment and everything, it just wouln't be synced to the main community on beehaw -- they won't see your comments, and you won't see comments posted there that are made after defederation happened.
I was actually under the impression we would no longer receive updated content from beehaw, but that doesn't seem to be the case... At any rate, if you go to https://lemmy.one/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/TopDay/page/1, you'll see a post on their Technology community about Jellyfin. If you do the same here https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/TopDay/page/1, it's nowhere to be found. It does look like you can still view the current content being posted on Beehaw when directly visiting those communities, but I'd be willing to bet if you try to comment, it will be like being shadow banned and only other lemmy.world users will see them. I did a quick check through on one of their most commented posts in the last 24 hours, and I don't see a single reply from anyone on lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works.
