Beehaw said that they blocked some instances like lemmy.world because they were getting lots of trolls and hateful people from those instances, and they don’t have the moderation tools to ban each offending account, so their best option was to defederate from those instances.

Beehaw admins did say though that they were willing to refederate, and I believe are working with some of the admins of the other instances to refederate.

But I also believe that the job of the Beehaw devs shouldn’t make the platform that is the easiest to migrate too, but instead should be to make the platform that is best for their community.
