How come beehaw is not federated?
It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.
It's complicated, but in a nutshell, their users have faced discrimination and unpleasant communication from some of the other instances, hence they decided to wall themselves in (it's a very inclusive community, so it's a bit ironic)
They defederated from lemmy.world + sh.itjust.works(Not lemmy.ml) and you can see their reasoning here
Wasn't defederation from world temporary?
Yeah, until there are better tools than defederation to limit communication between instances. Might take a while though and I think they only said they would re-evaluate it, so no guarantee(more detail in the link above)
Presumably still is.
