Lemmy

To describe this as defederating from "two instances" really undersells the impact. Those two instances represent 40% of the active userbase of the top ten instances in the lemmyverse in the last month, or well more than 30% of the entire active lemmyverse. When you add beehaw's active user count into the mix, over 50% of the lemmyverse has been cut off from each other. This is an absolutely massive disruption to the federated network that will impact everyone for months to come... and has already created far far more moderation and support work than it has saved. See https://the-federation.info/platform/73 for user stats.
