Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Tangent:
I'm here through kbin, reading your post from beehaw. Reading "Now that we're no longer linked ..." made me go "We? I can see content from lemmy.world, sh.it, and beehaw just fine."
Not trying to throw shade, just pointing out that even though the post absolutely recognizes the new landscape provided by the fediverse, it's easy to stay in "old world" siloed modes of thinking.
I do not think anyone at Beehaw can see or interact with us in this thread on Kbin, so we may simply be talking into a void together.
Edit: disregard, apparently Beehaw can view and interact with us. If you're reading this from Beehaw, I want you to know that I love you.
I believe that’s the case, yes. So Kbin/Lemmy.world, etc. still receive the content posted on beehaw, however beehaw doesn’t receive the content posted on Kbin/Lemmy.world. I guess this also makes it so that if anyone were to comment on this thread from another instance, we wouldn’t see their comments (unless they’re from beehaw or another instance that beehaw has federation enabled with)
edit: It seems that I was wrong, as clarified by @vaguerant below. Federation between kbin and beehaw is still active.
kbin has not been defederated from Beehaw, so interactions between those servers are continuing as normal. There's lots of posts about how "we" are defederated from Beehaw on the kbin front page, but those aren't coming from kbin itself, they're just showing up on the kbin front page because they're popular content in the threadiverse.
We (all of us, not a specific instance) should probably get into the habit of referring to our instances by name instead of just saying "us", "we", etc. because it causes exactly this kind of confusion when we don't.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. There's been so many threads on the defederation, I have gotten confused.
Kbin.social wasn't defederated actually, only those two Lemmy instances
So I tdoesnt effect us (on kbin)
that's comforting, in a way
I went to Beehaw to see if this thread of messages was over there, and this thread is indeed visible there (I clicked on "more" then "copy URL to fediverse" to go see)!
Yeah, it's an odd situation! Takes some time getting used to
