what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world?

I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?

So I guess the next question is do we now recreate beehaw communities that were popular and fragment the community, or do we make accounts on a smaller instance that has access to beehaw.org and lemmy.world? I’m not about to start logging in and out of multiple accounts because beehaw mods are getting butt hurt…

@Jessica @Dick_Justice

That's the thing, though. Since any accounts would be on different servers, you don't have to log out of one to log into another. You don't have to log out of Gmail to log into ProtonMail, you can be in both at the same time in the same browser.

I think we should definitely be working on new communities. Beehaw certainly has a place in the fediverse but it's not as the instance with the largest communities. It's simply incompatible with their moderation policies.
