Beehaw did not do that. They defederated 2 large ones because of open sign ups, and Lemmy not having other modding/admin tools available yet

  That was the claim, but it’s clearly a lie. First, they’ve defederated with and blocked hundreds of instances, not two. It looks like close to 1,000. You can review yourself here: https://beehaw.org/instances https://beehaw.org/instances Second, it appears they have even more moderators than the instances with which they defederated. More than enough to keep illegal content off the instance. But that’s not the intended goal. They want content off the instance which is ideologically opposed to the owner. They make that clear in the instance description. They want more moderation than Reddit, which is already filled with insular ideological spaces. The users are all very much on board with this ideological purity. They freely admit it, so I’m not sure why you would contend it.

    > It looks like close to 1,000 It’s 400. Versus over 3000 linked instances. That does not sound like an insanely long list, considering how many spam instances there are and those with questionable content.

      > It’s 400. I don’t understand how this argues against my premise. This is decisive evidence that they want strict ideological adherence.
