Tried to visit the main site, and this popped up?
If you had an account and then deleted it, you will get this page until you delete you beehaw cookies. It tries to automatically log you in on your old account and then fails with this error as it was deleted.
I'm not sure if this is unique to beehaw or across all Lemmy instances.
I just visited it and it came up fine for me. Probably just a host blip or they're updating something.
As was already mentioned, they've defederated from a lot of instances, but they're instance is still running. Just don't expect to interact with it from lemmy.world or the 377 other instances that have been blocked.
Getting an error page sometimes when visiting a popular Lemmy instance is normal unfortunately. The popular instances get a lot of traffic, and that is probably what causes this. I have had this happen with Lemmy.world a few times so far.
Even on Reddit this wasnโt that rare. They just have a system in between that hands you a nice error page with a sad looking Snoo and an error message.
It's up for me. This might just be a fail-safe response if the server software drops or something like that (especially since the Lemmy software hasn't been thoroughly tested except lately). If Beehaw intended to permanently take down their instance they'd probably make beehaw.org link to a blog post instead of a white screen that just says "deleted".
They have decided to defederate with .world, so did kbin. They felt that too many new users were going to their communities and breaking their rules.
