Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before Literature@beehaw.org was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!

Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

Cowardice it seems.

They couldn't handle the massive influx of new users and need better moderation tools, they plan to federate again when they get control of the situation.

This plus they specifically didn't like the openness of these communities vs. their more stringent process (since they're trying to create a specific vibe.)

Calling it "sublemmy" is incredibly cursed
