      Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.

      Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.

      I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?

        Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.

        Overall Id say its about even.

          Honestly that’s why I chose an instance that federates with both. There’s no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.
