Will lemmy.world be defederating from beehaw.org now? (lemmy.world)

First of all, let me say that while the admins can do what they want, I think it's pretty unfortunate that beehaw is defederating from .world and shitjustworks. I don't want to see the fediverse fracture, I want it to encourage conversation with others.

But, beehaw has done what they've done. And I must say it's annoying to be able to see their posts and comments and not engage with them. Plus, I could see their large, still visible communities taking away from ours without people realizing their own posts and comments aren't working.

So will .world be defederating from beehaw? I don't have a horse in the race, I'm jw

If I understood it correctly, it's actually the other way around. Beehaw has stopped getting posts and comments generated on lemmy.world but lemmy.world keeps getting comments and posts from all instances, including Beehaw's.

As far as content coverage goes this is hurting Beehaw more than lemmy.world.

Beehaw's admins basically hit a mute button on lemmy.world because they're overwhelmed and it's easier for them than to attempt to moderate all the posts and comments coming from it.

We can probably expect more of this type of thing as Lemmy goes through growing pains.

No, it's how I said it. I just checked - there are a couple posts from Ruud's beehaw account over there discussing it. If you visit the conversation with an account not from lemmy.world, there are a number of posts that show up that we can't see.
