I’m guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

So it’s for US tourism only?

Doesn’t surprise me too much tbh. I don’t think I’d make an account with Beehaw but I might end up making one with a small instance they federate with to have access. While they have a right to defederate it’s not something I like seeing.

The community vibe is definitely a huge motivation. They want to be able to control the sort of people on their instance which they can’t do if the mass user bases from lemmy.world etc. that are (relatively) neutral have access. It’s a shame because they had some good communities established.

What servers do you want defederating from?
