Beehaw defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
hey folks, we’ll be quick and to the point with this one: ##### we have made the decision to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. we recognize this is hugely inconvenient for a wide variety of reasons, but we think this is a decision we need to take immediately. the remainder of the post...

Interested to see what they mean by bad behavior? Also, what a terrible, dumb decision. Beehaw always seemed like it was ran by uptight former big subreddit mods.
This is the downside of federated sites like this. While one person can't take the whole thing down, there's lots of small groups that can do stuff like this. Beehaw has dome of the biggest communities, and a small group just shut them down for a lot of people. And you can't sign up to their community, without a completely opaque sign up process that barely works.
They lay it out very clearly in their long-winded "philosophy of beehaw" post (which you must read prior to application): anyone being a jerk because of bigotry or because the people in charge don't like them or are having a bad day or feel like exercising their power or they are not sufficiently singing along.
