    There still some good instances that Beehaw is federated with, but my personal issue is that it feels very fragile. If a couple of bigots show up on other instances and the mods don’t delete their posts right away, will Beehaw defederate from them? There is a line between protecting your users and barring them from accessing anything you don’t approve of, and I think they need to figure out where they stand in regards to that line. Beehaw feels more like a small forum than a piece of something bigger.

    Defederating because of raiding, harassment, bots, etc is 100% understandable but it should not be done lightly.

      I agree with you. And, honestly, I don’t think they did it lightly after reading their post about it. It’s just that they’re dedicated to creating a safe space for their members, and they couldn’t figure out how to do that with the mod tools they have and the influx of trolls from the open instances.
