For the newbies, why do I still see new beehaw posts in lemmy.world, and why will lemmy.world let me post to beehaw? (beehaw.org)

I’m honestly super confused about what you can and can’t do when federation ties have been cut.

100% agree with the bottom statement. There needs to be a way to say that this is not content from beehaw.

As for modding though… since federation was severed, wouldn’t someone like a beehaw c/lgbtq_plus mod not be able to touch content that was being posted to lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org on the LW instance?

Couldn’t it just turn into a shit show of people impersonating communities within an instance?

I'll try to get some information on it from the admins, whether reports propagate to the hosted instance, the post's instance (and whether it still works after de-fed) or both.

In any case the lemmy.world admins should ban misbehaving and impersonating users.
