      I think they were using the open sign ups to join and then harass people, a lot of which were in other instances, in particular beehaw.org. Now beehaw has defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world.

        Wait what the fuck…seriously??? Is that why I can no longer see Beehaw posts???

        I was 100% on board with them defederating from lemmygrad, but now this is just getting fucking ridiculous.

        From what instances can I access all content now (besides lemmygrad because I’m really not interested in them anyway)?

            I don’t think this necessarily applies. Sometimes, people with extremist views really shouldn’t be given the time of day. If people are out here doing things like posting child porn or advocating for genocide for example, I think it’s perfectly valid to block them. Not everything is a slippery slope.

          I think lots of instances, basically any of the ones that haven’t been defederated. You could also apply directly to beehaw.

          lemmy.ml is still in with them, that’s probably the biggest. Kbin also works I think. Basically just pick one out of the list of instances at the bottom of any webpage.

            I do have a beehaw account, but I had moved away from it because I didn’t like that I couldn’t make communities with it.

            It’s just frustrating that one of the instances with the most content is fracturing away from others.

            Who knows who they’ll defederate next and it’s obnoxious to try to keep up with it.

            I wish I could at least still see the content. Not being able to interact with it I get, buy not being able to look at it is frustrating as hell.
