Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible (lemmy.world)

Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before Literature@beehaw.org was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!

I wait for the day when there is enough contents here for bookcirclejerk to exist

Calling it "sublemmy" is incredibly cursed

Why did beehaw defederate?

Beehaw seems to be a very strict instance purely aimed at creating a very bubble-wrapped environment for its users. That's fine, but I fear a lot of "new" people to the fediverse may have signed up there purely because it's popular without really considering or understanding the very specific types of communities some instances attempt to create. Now suddenly there's probably many people on that instance who'll either be wondering why they're seeing less content, or others having to create accounts on more general instances.

Not really criticizing the decision or how Beehaw operates. That's the beauty of the fediverse. I just think this might be confusing and off-putting at this particular moment when Lemmy is receiving a lot of attention from reddit refugees.

They couldn't handle the massive influx of new users and need better moderation tools, they plan to federate again when they get control of the situation.

This plus they specifically didn't like the openness of these communities vs. their more stringent process (since they're trying to create a specific vibe.)

Cowardice it seems.

Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

They can't deal with the influx of new users from these two instances.

As they say, this is not permanent or about morality.

all the instances suffer from influx of new users and others don't federate because of trolls... Bad decision i think
