It should be noted somewhere on the login screen, maybe with an asterisk, that beehaw.org is not fully federated, restricted, however it needs to be termed.
They're defederating with instances left and right. And pushing for mod tools for the communities hosted on the instance but for users from other instances. They seem more interested in sculpting a walled garden with the illusion of agreeableness.
They have defederated from 387 instances so far. As the 2nd or 3rd largest server, they just cut off all of their users from the bulk of everyone else.
I unsubscribed from everything beehive and will focus my energy on a group that believes in what lemmy is.
