YSK: If you're on Lemmy.World or Sh.itjust.works you should not subscribe to any Beehaw communities

Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.

Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

If you get an account on an instant that isn't involved in this mess like FMHY you can browse both without any issue.

This was my thinking.

Is there an easy way to check if anyone has defederated from your instance?

there should be an instances button at the bottom of the page that shows it.

I might have to go here. I'm already tired of defederation and its histrionic champions.
