That said the Beehaw admins are really burned out from how hard to moderate a federated forum has been on Lemmy so I’d think there might be hesitation before re-enabling federation with those two, especially since they’re wanting to move to whitelist federation and SJW specifically (at least back when I was paying attention to it) moved to an admin format that tends to be slow to respond to crises
