        Please don’t, they are nice people, they just prefer to stay small

        If that’s what truly brings you joy; I’m sure they would be accepting.

        I mean, you’d likely get banned. But I doubt there would be any lingering hard feelings.

      When Reddit announced their API thing, I moved to beehaw (LW didn’t exist) and it was cool! Then they defederated from instance one by one… So I opened an account on LW.

      Beehaw is about dead, 70 users per day…

    Been a while, but as far as I can recall, SJW and LW are the two largest instances and the decision was due to limitations with Lemmy’s moderation tools and wanting to provide a safe space for their userbase (the latter being their primary mission). BH doesn’t have a huge admin/mod team, so they chose to limit federation with some of the larger instances. I also think I remember reading that federation was never really Beehaw’s goal and is more a side effect of the platform (Lemmy) they chose to run for their project.

    May be a bit fuzzy on the details, but I believe that’s the gist of it.
