And because this instance had open registration, it quickly became one of the biggest instances. Trolls were using the open registration + federation to harass their community. Because there are a lack of mod tools and the fact they only have 4 mods, they couldn’t keep up. In order to keep the community they wanted in tact, they decided to temporarily defederate until they’re better equipped to handle it.
I love how folks on this thread are so sure beehaw’s lying about that - despite the supposed amenable chat they and sh.itjust.works admins had about the situation. You guys are reeeaaally butthurt about the defed even though it wasn’t personal

on top of that, they were getting some pretty heinous abuse from a couple of users on the open-registration instances
