I just noticed my private instance, https://derp.foo/, was recently defederated by Beehaw. Thing is, I have no idea why. Was my instance accidentally included in some bulk defederation to get rid of spammers, or is there something specific to my instance?
Thanks for explaining that. I’ve been using links like the above to test if one instance is available from another rather than looking through the /instances list. I guess it’s a poor test (and probably not any less work than just checking the lists).
