The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

It's concerning that he's not just acting on his own like a dictator and instead let the members of the instance decide?
ultimately it's his website ultimately and his users are free to decide. but if they decide to keep the community they can't really blame anyone but themselves for any subsequent defederations. particularly in a federated system, there are consequences to a laissez-faire approach--that approach has been tried time and time again with the same end result (a community of extremely unpleasant people who everyone else quarantines) and at this point many people are just not interested in federating with a community that might go down that route. that's basically what people are getting at here, imo.
