if you are in an instance that was not defederated by beehaw, then nothing changes for you or them.

if you are on an instance that was defederated, then you see a snapshot of old behaw content, possibly updated content from beewaw, but beehaw wont get updates from your defederated instance. local interactions and other instances still federated with your instance are unaffected.

important to note that beehaw will likely refederate once the current wave dies down and more admin and mod tools are in place.

beehaw admins have the right to manage their instance as they see fit and beehaw users have the right to disagree and move to another instance if they choose (while still remaining on the lemmy network).

edit: words - they be hard sometimes.
