Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.

Possible, but if that were the case, I think they would have defeded a long time ago. The fact that they didn’t hit the button until the Reddit crisis makes me suspect that they’re probably being honest about it.
If they were really that concerned about anti-communist ideological purity, why would they have allowed federation when, as a raw percentage, even more of the community was hardcore communist prior to the flood of new users?
They did defederate with us (lemmygrad) long before the reddit drama actually, and definitely for political reasons, but as of lately their reasons for their recent defederation from the other, less-political instances seem much more pragmatic. There was talk of defederating with lemmy.ml too for similar reasons to why they defederated from lemmygrad, but I’m wrong about the recent reasons, the newer defederation surge seems to be for a multitude of reasons.
Ah, I missed that. I thought you guys got defeded at the same time as here.
