That ending got a scary movie vibe. Doesn’t de-federating kind of take your community out from knowing what’s happening around the neighborhood?
I think from the perspective of beehaw, it’s more relieving rather than spooky. There’s nothing stopping someone from hopping over here to lemmy.world to make an account. It’s just that comments and posts from here don’t get copied over to beehaw, so it makes it less work to curate and moderate what’s showing up for beehaw-specific accounts.
