Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    That’s not how federation works though; any community can defederate with another one. On different servers however, everything is still accessible even without logging in.

      Yeah. But I feel like defederation should be the last thing you want to do. People should be able to mute and block instances on their own.

        You can, actually. But aside from that admins are able to defederate because it’s easier to filter out trolls and nazis and what have you. (Eg lots of instances defederating from Lemmygrad)
