This is more of a question for the admins, but this can certainly be a more open discussion.
Per this thread, beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works two months ago, around the time that the reddit exodus was happening. Lemmy was blowing up, those instances had an open sign-up policy, and this meant that admins of other instances (like Beehaw) that wanted to heavily moderate their communities became quickly overwhelmed with the number of users from these two instances. Beehaw defederated to make the workload more realistic.
Two months on, I’m wondering if this defederation is still necessary. It seems to me that Lemmy overall has slowed down a lot, and maybe the flow of users from these outside servers would not be as overwhelming as it was before? I respect the decision of the admins one way or the other - I know that the lack of moderation tools was another factor in this decision. I’m just curious if this is something that has been considered recently?

We had our reasons to preemptively defederate and that has proven to be the correct action - just check what giving them a chance did for https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/
Yes, days is a long time now? We were still (one of) the first to defederate with them.
The instance you are on (lemmy.one) never was defederated with rammy.site. When rammy.site was overtaken by Exploding Heads members we tried to contact the site admin first. When he didn’t reply we defederated. That took about a day.
Yes. But I know you’re not here to argue in good faith. Your post history and this statement screams “Hexbear user on his alt”.
What happened with blahaj.zone’s Lemmy instance? I’m on their Mastodon instance, not Lemmy, so I was unaware of anything happening with it.
Someone from there posted this summary: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2017079.
Sorry not sure how to reformat.
