It was confusing at first
The confusion never went away. Beehaw defederated, so I understand that you would then have to create a specific Beehaw account in order to engage with Beehaw communities, but why would I want to as a Lemmy.world user, is what I'm confused about.
That's not the most convenient though. You could have an account on any instance that's not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and you'd be able to access both beehaw and Lemmyworld/shitjustworks
I got my account on lemm.ee and was wondering how the defederation affected me, good to know, thanks.
It doesn't. Beehaw blocked LW and SIJW because of open sign ups and, what I assume, was people creating new accounts when their old one was banned.
If you're not on any of those two instances or on beehaw, you're not impacted.
Beehaw is sending a message, imho, that instances need take reasonable measures to ensure their users don't repeatedly commit some sort of abuse.
This raises a question about the use case of user-only instances and community-only instances which might not be a bad idea.

Do mods even have this kind of power? Can they see what their users are posting on other instances?
For that matter, I don't know if this is so much a statement being made by Beehaw about quality of users as it is a necessary step for their moderation style. I think Beehaw has very strict mdoeration policies and they're just having a hard time keeping up with their own influx of users let alone LW and SIJW who have open registration.
This is also not a permanent judgement (or a moral one on the part of either community’s owner, i should add–we just have differing interests here and that’s fine).
