As long as beehaw is only de-linking these instances rather than actually blocking them, doesn't that still allow them to pull new posts and comments from beehaw? It's like the no-participation mode that r/bestof uses.

    Federation works in the opposite direction. It's push-based rather than pull-based. To get posts from Beehaw, Beehaw has to actively push those posts to your instance. With this move, Beehaw is choosing to no longer push posts to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

    Got it, this makes sense now. So in the case where I setup myownlemmy.com, I actually won't be able to get any content to my Lemmy unless I tell other instance admins I exist and they push their content to me. But then let's say lemmygrad starts pushing me their stuff and I'm like whoa don't want all that, blocked.
