Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    They have every right to protect themselves against spam. But that said, ever since they defederated, their activity and user numbers are down.

      Agree that they have every right to handle their instance however they want. I also have the right to not interact with them while they are blocking the instance I call home.
