Oh? Why did beehaw defederate? Does that mean beehaw is cut off from everyone else?
Expected reasons. Federated systems make moderation more difficult, compounded with poor availability of moderation tools on the platform today. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Damn most of my communities were from beehaw. I didn't join the instance to spare the server load, but now I think I might join it directly since I don't want to make another account on a different instance that may get defederated later on down the line.
Ugh, Beehaw denied my registration so I guess just can't get their content anymore.
You can access their content, but you can't really participate, unless you have an account on one of the instances they're still federated with.
Damn, I just assumed they were screening to ensure real users acting in good faith. Didn't expect them to actually be rejecting people.
I think they're pretty serious about the last essay part.
They had you write an essay good lord thats cringe as fuck.
