"Beehaw has now defederated from 2 of the biggest/most active Lemmy instances" on Hexbear
www.hexbear.net
"At this point, Beehaw seems to not want to federate. They defederated from Lemmy.world and shitjustworks. Both can be found on the join-lemmy page. They have defederated from the most communities at like 352 lol. Shitjustworks and Lemmy World don't even have that much of a culture difference with Beehaw from what I see. Shitjustworks also bans lemmygrad. Lemmyworld hasn't tho (and honestly might not, it's been 2 weeks and nothing has happened on that front) Essentially, they don't like their open registration policy and the increase in users... I have never seen such an argument before but lol. If I am not mistaken Lemmy.world is the community with the most active users and 2nd amount of total users (behind Lemmy.ml). Idk the numbers behind shitjustworks but it was near the top. I can't confirm the exact numbers since the tools to verify user count are down atm. For more info here is the Beehaw post : https://beehaw.org/post/567170 Even the Libs at kbin don't have the best words https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/22329/Beehaw-defederating-from-lemmy-world-and-sh-itjust-works"

    From the beehaw announcement:

    an unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad.

    In English: “We are political, after all, and we only like liberalism except for those pesky bits about tolerance and enlightenment values. Without support from an ‘ex-CIA’ directorate, we simply can’t control the narrative if we federate with people who say what they want.”
