"Beehaw has now defederated from 2 of the biggest/most active Lemmy instances" on Hexbear
www.hexbear.net"At this point, Beehaw seems to not want to federate. They defederated from Lemmy.world and shitjustworks. Both can be found on the join-lemmy page.
They have defederated from the most communities at like 352 lol. Shitjustworks and Lemmy World don't even have that much of a culture difference with Beehaw from what I see.
Shitjustworks also bans lemmygrad. Lemmyworld hasn't tho (and honestly might not, it's been 2 weeks and nothing has happened on that front)
Essentially, they don't like their open registration policy and the increase in users... I have never seen such an argument before but lol.
If I am not mistaken Lemmy.world is the community with the most active users and 2nd amount of total users (behind Lemmy.ml). Idk the numbers behind shitjustworks but it was near the top.
I can't confirm the exact numbers since the tools to verify user count are down atm.

It really does say a lot that they are deriving more value from within an echo chamber, where they are only seeing beliefs and opinions they either already agree with or find acceptable, than they do by being exposed to a variety of beliefs and opinions. It really helps convince me that uniformity is preferred over diversity (the only “diversity” allowed is that which is within certain bounds and only certain parameters can vary). It also says a lot that they are lying to themselves and each other about the motivation: I keep seeing the “human rights abuse supporter” and “trolling” excuses. I keep saying this, but the most aggression, personal attacks, disregard for real discussion, and trolling I’ve seen has been from people on those servers which have defederated with lemmygrad.
Edit to add: Seeing psycopathic stuff like this thrown around like it’s nothing or normal still genuinely blows my mind:
Deriving enjoyment from the discomfort of others is not normal behavior.
yep, liberalism went from being the end of history ideology to being under siege in every possible facet within 20-30 years. of course the people with the most brainworms are now locking everything down trying to enforce what was never theirs to begin with.
