Someone dug into the mod logs and found four or five instances of lemmy.world accounts being moderated on Beehaw. That’s all it took for them to defederate

Beehaw will probably die if they want to defederate from any largr instance with open signups. This whole system won't work without open signups because no one wants to go through an interview process to use a social media site. They'll leave or just cave and go back to reddit.

Fully agree. Ain't nobody wanna audition just to talk to people online.

Not sure why people care so much, they are only hurting themselves and the communities hosted on their insurance — way more than the damage to .ml or .world
