wow, they really are defederating. I think this is a major blow against the reddit replacement side of the fediverse. But then again the beehaw mods were always a bit draconic in their moderation, with forbidding dislikes and creating new communities, i think its just a matter of time until they defedarate completely from everyone since the reason they gave basically boils down to: the fediverse is too big for us

This. Why join the fediverse then? Just host a private web forum if you want to control who can sign up and what communities they can create and who can post what.

To be fair to them, I don't think they ever wanted this. They just happened to be around when Lemmy started exploding. I remember their admins not being happy about being listed as "recommended" on join-lemmy.org

They should've made it much more clear they weren't interested in being a general instance and stopped this before it began. But I suppose now is better than later.
