    What is beehaw, and why wouldn’t we see it?

        Soooooo, their logic is “we want to build a community” but also “we disagree with open registrations, and want to seperate from the two biggest instances on Lemmy”.

        That’s like throwing a party, and then getting nervous when people show up.

          That was a year ago, the fediverse was (and is) growing by leaps and bounds; basically all instances were dealing with DDoSes and huge waves of obviously scripted account-creation. AFAIK beehaw federates with both of those instances again.

          I’m pretty ambivalent about federation. If an instance wants to be a private forum and not federate that’s up to them and a valid use case I guess. I personally prefer instances that federate with basically everyone and let me block per user/instance myself but to each their own.

            They did it so early I’m not sure how much of that was an issue. And no, while they did say it could be reversed later on, it never has been. Last I heard they were considering leaving Lemmy entirely.

              Just checked and you’re right.

              But still, that’s the beauty of federation to me, they’re still using the same interoperable standard so if I want to see them I can spin up my own instance or find one of the ones they still federate.

                Agreed, that’s their prerogative. It did seem to stunt their growth but without wanting to take on more admins they may be fine with that.

            What?! No, that’s censorship! Let us do the blocking.
