    Beehaw has their own vibe going on and that’s fine too. I wouldn’t expect them to refederate with us anymore than with .world. Don’t hate them for it.

    I do believe we run tighter moderation after expanding the team, so I think refederation could be possible with infosec.pub if we reached out.

    There’s somewhat of a flaw in the report system when a local user commits abuse on a remote community and as such, a matrix back-channel is kind of a necessity for now. I think as long as we make sure to have that it should be possible to make this work.

    I don’t expect Beehaw to refederate anytime soon. As of last month they were still considering moving to another platform: https://beehaw.org/post/9558079

    As for infosec.pub, I’ll chat with the other admins about inviting them to refederate. My understanding is that they were getting a lot of reports related to our instance and decided to pull the plug on us.

      Is BeeHaw any good? I just submitted a registration to check it out. I never got to see it before it was defederated.

        I don’t really know honestly. My instance is still federated with them, and I don’t see much of them. I do see a few users from there, but I rarely see their posts in all. They’re mostly just a little isolated community off to the side that does their own thing, which I think is what they want

        If you enjoy tame, chill conversations and memes and little else then yes. Good is very subjective. I personally do not like beehaw, it’s a bit bland for me. The community was set up to be(e) a walled garden and it’s about as good as a federated walled garden can be.

      I’m sure infosec.pub would bring a good bit of intelligent activity our way!

      Thank you :)

    With the way the Beehaw admins were acting back when they defederated, I wouldn’t expect Beehaw to ever refederate.

    They were happy and quick to defederate and seemed proud of it.
