    Yeah, I do wonder if Beehaw is just block happy. I am scared of clicking on their list of banned instances (like if itā€™s really shitty stuff that no sane human can look at), but they have blocked almost 400 instances.

    They havenā€™t blocked the main Lemmy one though. Iā€™m guessing the main Lemmy instance has gotten better with the reddit migration.

    What they did was the following : they defederated with Top 2 and Top 4 from what I understand (2 of the top 5).

    For, reference Lemmy.ml has 35k users, Lemmy.world around 20-25k ish, shitjustworks 10k, beehaw 10k. Then theres a lot of small lemmy instances beehaw hasnā€™t banned which go from a few hundred to a few thousand. The numbers might be slightly off since the user count tools are having issues on the lemmy side of things.
