I read that they “defederated”… What does this mean? And why did they do this? And what are the consequences?
You must log in or register to comment.
I don’t know the why, but the word “defederate” refers to an instance ceasing communication with other instances. That means any posting, commenting, or messaging, no longer works across the connection between that instance and others.
Basically, to everyone on beehaw, the rest of us have gone silent, to us, beehaw has gone silent.
… to us, beehav has gone silent.
Beehaw hasn’t gone silent for us, see https://lemmy.world/post/149743 for details. Other instances haven’t (yet) defederated Beehaw, so things behave asymmetrically.
