Is there more to this story?

https://beehaw.org/post/567170 Presumably the 196 connection is that we are one of the larger communities to migrate from Reddit and thus a large part of this user explosion, but I don't see 196 users being particularly problematic.

https://beehaw.org/comment/262238 this comment made me think of this meme.

I went and replied to that. Honestly, I'm only here because of 196. The rest of reddit can suck a beefy fart out of my arsehole.

It is their choice, also for this reason there is more freedom in the fediverse.

what exactly does it mean to defederate some instances? is it like an instance just straight up blocking another instance?

wow, they really are defederating. I think this is a major blow against the reddit replacement side of the fediverse. But then again the beehaw mods were always a bit draconic in their moderation, with forbidding dislikes and creating new communities, i think its just a matter of time until they defedarate completely from everyone since the reason they gave basically boils down to: the fediverse is too big for us
To be fair to them, I don't think they ever wanted this. They just happened to be around when Lemmy started exploding. I remember their admins not being happy about being listed as "recommended" on join-lemmy.org
They should've made it much more clear they weren't interested in being a general instance and stopped this before it began. But I suppose now is better than later.
This. Why join the fediverse then? Just host a private web forum if you want to control who can sign up and what communities they can create and who can post what.
