    The entire value proposition of the fediverse is that you can defederate rather than being stuck under the same roof as you would on a centralized platform.

    The only people I see complaining about this are on the defederated instances, the Beehaw users seem to be generally happy with the change.

      …the Beehaw users seem to be generally happy with the change.

      Maybe? I honestly don’t know, but it seems like it would be hard for them to tell…? If I understand things correctly, Beehaw defederates (what a word…) and now no one sees posts / communities from, say, sh.itjust.works, right? So no one really knows what they’re missing if they’re on Beehaw? Please correct me if I’m wrong, as that could easily be the case.

        Federation is a two way street, and requires the link to be severed in both directions. The BeeHaw community won’t be able to see what’s posted by the communities they defederated, but unless those communities also defederated BeeHaw, they’ll still be able to see posts and comments from BeeHaw users.

        In other words, if BeeHaw users were unhappy with the defederation (and willing to talk about it, of course) we could see them posting about it on kbin for example. I personally haven’t seen that though- their community was apparently pretty exclusive before, so it stands to reason they’d be happy with it continuing that way.

          No, Beehaw users don’t see any content posted by any member of the cutoff instances. These servers might as well not exist, for Beehaw users.

            Isn’t that what I said?

            The BeeHaw community won’t be able to see what’s posted by the communities they defederated

            (defederated) communities… (will) still be able to see posts and comments from BeeHaw users
