Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances

    Iā€™m a bit confused by your comment. They say in their post that they will reevaluate when Lemmyā€™s mod tools improve. More granular control over federation could help too. Itā€™s a temporary measure.

    Itā€™s not like theyā€™re taking extreme action because they want to cause schisms. ā€œThey will defederate with everyoneā€ only seems to apply if every other huge instance also has high numbers of trolls. Maybe not so unlikely, but mod tools on Lemmy will hopefully improve by then. Note: you sign up for beehawā€™s rules when you choose to interact on beehaw, not when you sign up to beehaw. The issue they are dealing with here is that they have had to disproportionately moderate users interacting on beehaw coming from those instances.

    And at the end of the day, if beehaw becomes too isolated, it takes like 5 clicks to open a different instance in my browser and sign up there instead.
