Edit: Because people are confused, remove them while they are defederated.

Once they’ve got stuff under control and refederate, then add them back.

    why? I understood it was just a temporary thing, not permanent.

    Everyone is going through some growing pains right now, why not be gracious and let things progress as they need to? Or do you know something I don’t?

      I was not implying to permanently remove them. I did indeed mean to remove them while they’re defederated. They said they can’t handle the influx of users with only 4 admins.

      Obviously they would be readded when they refederated.

      why?

      To spare the users of the 2 affected instances the crappy UX of asymmetric federation.

          If the defederation is open ended, it seems pretty reasonable to delist them until it’s sorted. They’ve cut themselves off from more than 30% of the active Lemmy userbase, and are at the center of what’s about to become a monumental storm of confusion around asymmetrical federation. There’s no need to subject more people to that than is necessary.

    I don’t agree because Beehaw is still a server that people can join and should therefore be inluded. New people may not understand immediately about the federation. That’s okay. They can always choose to stay on Beehaw or create a different account elsewhere.

    It’s not just beehaw. Here you can see a list of instances with how many they have defederated (3rd column from right, ‘BI’). A few others have more than 380 defederations, too.

    Also, isn’t that just what the de/federation system does? Instances can decide on their own, we don’t have to agree as a whole. Who owns ‘lemmy proper’ to make the call which instances are displayed on join-lemmy.org or removed from it?

    But what definitely should be removed is this line:

    You can access all content in the lemmyverse from any server/instance.

    That’s simply not true, and creates false expectations. Either change that line or only show instances with 0 defederations.
