New to all this, does that mean lemmy.world accounts can no longer even see any beehive content?
Yep. Though it's not intended to be a permanent change as I understand it
Hopefully, as these federations mature, community/magazine moderators get greater ability to moderate content.
And these sorts of defederations may also serve as a "hey, do something about this" smack to the defederated instances. Provided that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works don't actually want to have trolls like that among their users they could implement mechanisms to make it harder for them to sign up.
If someone wants to deliberately run a 4chan-like free-for-all instance, that's fine, but I expect nobody's going to want to federate with it.
