I think so, but I;m not sure. Could also be the other way around. I'm still new to this as well.

I really don't see it in such a negative way. Being able to control what you allow and don't allow seems like the whole idea of a federated system in my perspective, including defederation with other instances.
Everything is also new to everybody and these are also just some volumteers sharing their servers and bandwidth to host a place for people to chill. Finding a way to moderate the huge influx of people sounds like a challenge and I can see why they would make this choice (and I believe it's temporary for now as well). I see Beehaw currently more like a phpbb forum that has it's own thing. So far I'm liking the different communities beehaw, lemmy.world and kbin bring, each in their own way.
