I am trying to switch away from Lemmy.world after getting used to Lemmy to reduce the stress on their servers and add to the decentralized nature of Lemmy.

      It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

      It’s complicated, but in a nutshell, their users have faced discrimination and unpleasant communication from some of the other instances, hence they decided to wall themselves in (it’s a very inclusive community, so it’s a bit ironic)

          The earth and sun and milky way are temporary. Like these things, the Beehaw defederation is ongoing and has no predetermined end.

          Yeah, until there are better tools than defederation to limit communication between instances. Might take a while though and I think they only said they would re-evaluate it, so no guarantee(more detail in the link above)
