    Is there an Out of the Loop thread for this? I’m new here and not sure what’s going on.

      Beehaw.org, one of the largest instances suddenly decided to also defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works…

      They are becoming an incredibly insular community which would normally be fine…but the frustrating bit is that many of us have been enjoying and participating in content from many instances and then suddenly it gets taken away from us.

      If they had defederated from the very beginning or if they were a much smaller community it wouldn’t be as frustrating imo.

      I just want to be able to interact with people, not keep jumping through hoops to find which instances support other instances and making new accounts there.

        To be fair, they’ve basically said they would not like to stay permanently defederated and are just waiting for the proper mod tools or whatever else they need to keep up.

        They are having trouble keeping up with the large volume of people participating in their communities and moderating this huge influx of new users. When most of their workflow is apparently coming from these other servers I think they’re justified in defederating.

          I’m hoping this is just the case, but you never know. They didn’t seem overly keen to work with lemmy.world about it from what I’ve read from them.

      Same here. Totally out of the loop
