Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

    The top comments on the post that got linked earlier in this thread are all native Beehaw accounts

    No they’re not. There is literally only one top level Beehaw comment in that thread and it’s only mildly critical (along the lines of “I understand but this isn’t the community for me”). Every other top level comment is from an external user, particularly the negative ones.

    Why are you lying?

      I apologize, you are correct; I assumed every account displayed as “[name]@[instance]” if it wasn’t native to that instance, and that every account that was just “[name]” was a native one, but it seems like some (mainly kbin.social?) accounts don’t do that.

        I don’t know why that’s the case. For whatever reason that thread had a lot of kbin people in it, but earlier threads in relation to de-federation had more Beehaw natives and they were generally very supportive of the decision.
