Lets not create artificial animosity between communities just because the admins of one instance have been understandably overwhelmed by a huge influx of new users. That community existed before the reddit exodus so it is understandable that their primary goal is not growth regardless of the cost. Not to mention they are completely right about lack of proper moderation tools.

No, no. They're defederating from other instances because those other instances have been too lazy to moderate.

Being an admin in a federated network means being responsible for who you allow to access that network. If you won't be, then other admins will take action.

And it's not like they've completely isolated themselves from the fediverse, just the two largest open-registration instances. You can still see & interact with beehaw communities from lemmy instances other than world and shitjustworks, afaik
