My understanding was that they blocked 2 specific instances, which people are referring to as “defederating” and “having a closed system,” but my understanding is that all other Lemmy and kbin instances can still interact with Beehaw and vice versa, so isn’t Beehaw technically still federated, they just blocked two instances which is something I would expect federated servers to be allowed to do? And are people boycotting Beehaw? Does that involve not interacting with any beehaw server, or does that mean people are just not having accounts in a Beehaw server?

Edit: and I’m seeing posts now suggesting that kbin is defederating? What’s up with that?

    I’m not boycotting them, just unsubbed from any communities I was in on them. I’ll rejoin when they got it figured out. If moderation is a problem for them, I’m not going to add to the load.
