@0x4E4F@Dirk thats a feature not a bug, unless they are single user or family only instances, they usually will let you open an account if you are. But there are others do allow open registration, like the one I have an account on, that I've never actually used, https://peertube.uno
Why are people so upset about Beehaw being quite exclusionary?
When I first learned about the Fediverse part of the appeal was that some instances would be open, some would be more exclusive, and that was part of the appeal. Don't like how open/exclusionary one is? Then leave and go to a different one.
Defederation is a feature of the Fediverse, and using it isn't some big crime.

Defederation was meant as a last measure to block instances like gab.ai or truth social. Not to block content the Moderators may not like. At the end it should be the users choice what content they enjoy. Large instances blocking each other betrays the whole idea, the dream that we can all communicate. This is, at its core, Gmail blocking Outlook users to send mails to Gmail users because Outlook allows X, Y and Z and its just insanity.
I agree. We should be able to federate and defederate who and when we want. If you really can't find any sever that fits your needs, there's always personal instances and starting your own server.
It's a protocol that fediverse platforms, such as Lemmy, KBin, Mastodon and PeerTube use. Basically, it's how all of the different instances and platforms find one another in the fediverse, how they federate.
Except isn't the truth that they experienced harassment from other open-registration instances and in lack of better moderation tools chose to defederate for the time being?
