Seems like a consequence of beehaw's actions

it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.

You're describing the reasoning behind the decision. The fact that this is a consequence of that decision remains the same.

I don't agree. I think it's disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don't like - if that's not your intent, then what is ?

There's nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you're projecting here.

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.

I don't think it was unintended in the sense that the admins didn't expect these consequences. At least to me, on their posts they seem very aware that what they're doing is very damaging, but they were stuck with choosing between the lesser of two evils, and they choose what was going to keep them more sane for now.

I mean yes it is a consequence of beehaw's actions. Those actions were justified though and the consequences mild considering how easy it is to view a community without being logged in.

I'm not sure why you're so defensive about it, but ok?

Im not being defensive. I'm agreeing with you but adding context for other people. It's legitimately consequences of beehaw's actions. Those actions have a valid reason though.

Your post is specifically worded/presented in a way to illicit a reaction from people, which you got. So it's fair for me to qualify my answer when I agree with you.
