I heard Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world among others, but recently I have been seeing content from beehaw communities and users. Did they re-federate? If so, why? And if not, why am seeing updates from their servers again?

    Ok, I understand the logistics of it, but not why they did it. Is there some ideological difference? Are they just introverts?

      The Lemmy moderation tools are still in their infancy and the open registration nature of sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world meant that beehaw.org was receiving an unsustainable flow of trolls.

      Seems they are helmed by some minister/preacher who wants to protect his flock from the naughties of the internet by way of heavy handed moderation
