I'm new to the fediverse, but isn't it sort of shooting themselves in the foot to defederate the biggest instance so far?
The entire value proposition of the fediverse is that you can defederate rather than being stuck under the same roof as you would on a centralized platform.
The only people I see complaining about this are on the defederated instances, the Beehaw users seem to be generally happy with the change.
Maybe? I honestly don’t know, but it seems like it would be hard for them to tell…? If I understand things correctly, Beehaw defederates (what a word…) and now no one sees posts / communities from, say, sh.itjust.works, right? So no one really knows what they’re missing if they’re on Beehaw? Please correct me if I’m wrong, as that could easily be the case.
I saw beehaw posts fine yesterday on .world
