First of all, let me say that while the admins can do what they want, I think it’s pretty unfortunate that beehaw is defederating from .world and shitjustworks. I don’t want to see the fediverse fracture, I want it to encourage conversation with others.
But, beehaw has done what they’ve done. And I must say it’s annoying to be able to see their posts and comments and not engage with them. Plus, I could see their large, still visible communities taking away from ours without people realizing their own posts and comments aren’t working.
So will .world be defederating from beehaw? I don’t have a horse in the race, I’m jw
We’re seeing the pains of the sudden and quick growth in lemmy from rexxitors (which I am one). It’s exposing the current limitations of the software. Basically defederation between 2 instances should be more transparent. Like it should be a banner on the local instance when you’re in one of their communities or posts. I only found out from a post in another community.
I personally am not going to get bent out of shape about it. New communities can pop up to take their place. Better mod tools can be developed to help. The lemmy software will improve over time.
