I believe beehaw only degenerated from lemmy. If you’re on kbin you can still see both.
Only from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, not with others AFAIK. The anouncementpost can be found here https://beehaw.org/post/567170
This is honestly interesting to watch play out, because one of the neat things about federation is that it allows for effectively chains and knots of information - Beehaw is more censored/curated at the moment while Kbin is more connected than anything because it’s bridging Lemmy World and Beehaw.
Lol every time I read an announcement by these guys it feels off-putting. I thought I was a progressive but reading this and the comments makes me feel like I am the furthest thing from progressive if this is what they believe. Every time they mention a safe space, I wonder if they are trying to make safe spaces seem like a joke because that’s the vibe I’m getting. Safe spaces are for victims, not for trying to create a great wall of beehaw “ideals.”
I really don’t see it in such a negative way. Being able to control what you allow and don’t allow seems like the whole idea of a federated system in my perspective, including defederation with other instances.
Everything is also new to everybody and these are also just some volumteers sharing their servers and bandwidth to host a place for people to chill. Finding a way to moderate the huge influx of people sounds like a challenge and I can see why they would make this choice (and I believe it’s temporary for now as well). I see Beehaw currently more like a phpbb forum that has it’s own thing. So far I’m liking the different communities beehaw, lemmy.world and kbin bring, each in their own way.
So pardon my ignorance but if you’re on lemmy and beehaw defederated, you wouldn’t be able to see any beehaw content, right?
I’m genuinely still trying to figure it all out still.,
Any new content. We can still see and interact with the posts that were created and copied from when beehaw was federated with lemmy.world. Once they defederated, their server simply stopped interacting with lemmy.world.
Any posts you see from beehaw are just copies. You can still comment and vote, but the changes are only kept on lemmy.world’s instance.
Since lemmy.world is still allowing federation with beehaw, lemmy.world users can still see posts and comments from beehaw users, if those beehaw users were to post to the lemmy.world instance directly. The beehaw users wouldn’t see any interactions or replies, however.
It’s a street with a lane blocked off right now. Lemmy.world allows traffic from beehaw, but beehaw blocked traffic from lemmy.world. We can hear them and see them, but they can’t hear or see us.
