Bummer :( bad actors ruining it for everyone.
So what does this mean for lemmy.world users? Can we still seamlessly see beehaw communities but not post/comment?
As for beehaw users, I assume we and our communities simply do not exist, right?
we can still see and interact with both. Ernest has not defederated with them at this time so we should have few issues. As a community on this instance we need to use this platform in good faith to assure we arent banned/defederated with

You could imagine people abusing unvetted sign ups to troll or whatever
