It's been over for so long that it's almost forgotten, huh? Here's the announcement: https://beehaw.org/post/567170

As I remember, it was about open registration policy and poor moderation.

I'm a little surprised they are even still going. I guess staying small really was a goal.

Beehaw had been around for a few years before lemmy.world launched. They have a specific sort of space they want to create, so good for them for being able to maintain it.

I admire their boundaries and steadfastness

I’m surprised they haven’t re-federated by now. I kind of got the impression it would be temporary during the main Reddit migration but I guess not. I really like the beehaw community but it definitely seems inconvenient to not be able to access all of those bigger communities on world and shjw.

I have noticed that a lot of the most irritating and vocal reactionaries come from those two instances, and it's not improving much. It makes sense - this is an alternative to reddit and the people most likely to leave reddit will include a large number of people who get banned a lot.

If they're reactionaries, they're not going to have many instances that are for them specifically - because those instances get defedded - so they will tend to go for the open instances. So those instances get a lot of the worst people.

And if their goal is growth at the expense of quality, then they won't fix it. They'll just get worse. The reasons beehaw defederated haven't changed.
