This sucks, and might be the reason I return to Reddit. This pretty much splits the Lemmy population in two halves
Except not really. I created a new account on lemmy.world once I saw the notice they were defederating. I'm sure I won't be the only one to do that. I liked what they were trying to do over at beehaw but I don't like being cut off from 2 of the biggest instances.
I hope youβre right. Iβm just afraid .ml users will see no reason to leave the beehaw communities
If lemmy.ml gets big enough I wouldn't be surprised if beehaw blocks them too. Alternatively what I see happening is that communities will be created here to replace the ones that were on beehaw. I see more people joining an instance that isn't so restrictive which will make the communities bigger than the ones on beehaw
The beehaw communities won't be able to have posts from sh.itjust.works and from lemmy.world, those communities will suffer as a huge chunk of contributors were just blocked.
Why would lemmy.ml users want to stay in communities that were just shot in the foot by their admins?
