And this a prime example of why the multi-instance system is great. Don't like one instance? Go to another one.
EDIT: I also wish to say that I feel both sides of the situation have merit. Yes, it sucks that we've been defederated, but in all fairness, there legitimately was an issue with abusive users causing havoc over on Beehaw.
Yeah I think Beehaw have a clear ethos and want to protect that. I think the misunderstanding is from the new people influxing into Lemmy/Kbin (me included) - they don't have to be a part of the wider Fediverse. They're big by the standards of Lemmy/Kbin when people arrived so people are suprised that they don't seem to "want" a big influx - they were expecting them to embrace redditors and want to be the new reddit.
Beehaw will continue and succeed in it's aims but it's probably not going to be a big player long term, but I don't think it wants to be the mass choice. Lemmy.world and Fedia.io / kbin.social at the moment seem like more likely bets long term as they're embracing the growth, and analogous communities to big familiar Reddit communities are being created which will be clear places to go for future influxes.
