Lemmy.world still has all the content it pulled from beehaw before they defederated, but they won't sync anymore, so you won't see new beehaw updates, and they won't see any updates from lemmy.world
Was there a reason why they defederated??

This link doesn't work anymore
Tried to cooy/paste but my app is being difficult rn...
Apparently the 4 admins are having trouble dealing with the influx of new users, so they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because their open registration policies are giving them the most problems.

Ok I'm one of the new users and it looks like I've commented on communities hosted there maybe a half dozen times. I guess I'm part of the problem ๐
But I'm a little unclear about the role an admin plays on an instance? Are they actually taking on mod responsibilities, in which case I can certainly understand how 4 would be totally swamped?
I guess in my head I sort of imagined each community has its own mod(s) and the admins would only step in as a kind of "supreme court" if some dispute gets out of hand? I've probably got this totally wrong.
Yeah that's what I was wondering. I'm just going off what they said. I know they don't allow communities to be created except what they did themselves, so maybe they are taking on all the mod responsibilities?
Yes but this is a nonstandard approach. For most instances it works as you had originally described.
Maybe we need to write them an apology letter in their sign-up to rejoin.
Comments like this... now I understand why they defederated.
snickers in agreement
I'm not kissing your, or anyone else's ass. The fact that a lot of you Embrace and encourage other people to determine how other people should behave, is a jackass entitled way of thinking.
Bro they literally just want people to be nice, how on earth is that concept making you so angry?
My guess is they are the kind of person who thinks free speech is the one and ultimate truth in life. Also free speech means "I can use slurs and bully people to suicide but if you call me a bigot then you don't appreciate free speech" without realizing the irony of not accepting the free speech of others.
Seen it so many times.
Yeah, how dare people use a voluntary system of association to avoid dealing with assholes like you.
Oh the irony.
Your profile pic is really cool. I didn't know you could use a gif as your profile pic
I didn't either. I discovered it by accident.

How dare you not consider the feelings of the billions of people on planet Earth that use the internet. Absolutely preposterous
