MODERATORS
I created my Lemmy.world account when Beehaw defederated, and it's now my main.
What did beehaw defederate from? That site seems pretentious.
They claimed it would be temporary and was to ensure “safety” of their community as other instances have open signups, and apparently the beehaw admin thought there’d be an influx of bots, or excessive posts requiring moderation. It doesn’t seem like that has happened though, and it also doesn’t seem like they’ve re-federated.
They defederated (at least at some point) from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Probably more, but I'm too lazy this morning to go digging through their instances list or posts. Also ironically their 'safe space' doesn't give me a very welcoming or safe feeling, so I prefer to steer clear of it.
