No Beehaw did not like how Sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world are run, did a complant session about how their mod tools are not talored to give them an excise of power on users not based in their instance, and then cut them off saying “they are willing to negotiate reopening.” Personaly I see this like union bargoning, we are stronger all sticking together and not bending to beehaws wims
From what I understand, beehaw was overwhelmed with rule-breaking content coming from lemmy.world and sh.it to the point that the 4 admin team and the mods couldn’t keep up, so they cut the problem at the source and defederated from those two.
The issue came from Reddit trolls taking advantage of lemmy.world and sh.it having open registration, so even if one account was banned, the trolls would just make another one and keep posting hateful content on Beehaw.

There’s a lot of vagueness there. I’d be interested in hearing more details about what they want from mod tools.

Man, if an instance had enough clout, like Mozilla, I’d absolutely pay $5 for an account, Something Awful style.
Yeah that’s what I thought. The comment I replied to seemed to suggest that sh.itjust.works had cut themselves off from others, but no.
I guess the “we’re only 4 people” was actually referring to beehaw’s mod team, or something.
Yes, the 4 person mod team at Beehaw was getting slammed by rule breaking content from those particular servers and couldn’t keep up.
The only tool at their disposal was to pull the plug on them entirely until there are better mod tools available
