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.

    The` point was to protect their member–who specifically wanted a certain type of safe friendly instance–from hostile weirdos sending dick pics and stuff like that``

    They are making community policy around a single person?

    I am not following.

    With that being said, they can do as they please and other can do what they want. That’s the beautity of the protocol.

    However, people shoudnt be surpised when others take the ball and play else where.

    Looking forward to seeing how this works out.

      That was just a typo. Beehaw has advertised itself as being a largely positive, safe online space. People who sign up for it would generally be considered to want that same ethos.

      It’s not ideal at the moment but until the moderation tools improve it’s the best way forward if they want to stick to their ethos. I enjoy Beehaw and the admin do seem like they want to refererate when it’s possible to.

      I’m on both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I between the two I can interact with everything I would want to see.

      I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be “members” and missing the s is a typo.
