Why are people so upset about Beehaw being quite exclusionary?
When I first learned about the Fediverse part of the appeal was that some instances would be open, some would be more exclusive, and that was part of the appeal. Don’t like how open/exclusionary one is? Then leave and go to a different one.
Defederation is a feature of the Fediverse, and using it isn’t some big crime.

Defederation was meant as a last measure to block instances like gab.ai or truth social. Not to block content the Moderators may not like. At the end it should be the users choice what content they enjoy. Large instances blocking each other betrays the whole idea, the dream that we can all communicate. This is, at its core, Gmail blocking Outlook users to send mails to Gmail users because Outlook allows X, Y and Z and its just insanity.
I agree. We should be able to federate and defederate who and when we want. If you really can’t find any sever that fits your needs, there’s always personal instances and starting your own server.
