What's the deal with beehaw.org?
Is there drama or a story I'm missing? As I understand it, from lemmy.world I can see their posts but they cannot see mine. Why did beehaw block lemmy.world?

From what I understand, LW users were posting lower quality content after a huge amount of Reddit users flooded into it and the Beehaw admins were tired of it so they defederated.
-
For anyone interested, they explained the reasoning behind this particular defederation here:
https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/on-defederation/
At the end of the day beehaw wants to be tightly moderated and it's kind of imposible to properly moderate huge amounts of users at the moment with their tools so they decided to ban big instances that don't require any verification to join
-
Ah. Technically, could they re-federate with Lemmy.world whenever they want or does re-federation require some sort of approval from lemmy.world admins?
-
As long as .world doesn't defederate them back, Beehaw can re-federate whenever they want.
-
I’m hoping they will. I subscribed to some beehaw communities that look appealing. I chose Lemmy.world out of convenience and I also appreciate the dude behind it…once things settle it would be sad if they don’t allow any LW people because of a few shitposters.

Have you considered making an account there (or on a non blocked lemmy instance), especially with how most apps I've used allow for multiple accounts and changing with two taps I don't think there is much reason not tp make an account in the meantime.

Not a bad idea

I'm not sure. Sorry.
