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.
The federation/defederation process seems pretty quick. As I understand it, Beehaw will not be refederating until better mod tools are available or modding otherwise becomes possible. Lemmy.world users are still able to see content from beehaw, which has been causing confusion for many of the newcomers. These users can think they’re engaging with beehaw but their comments and posts are never seen. This is what I’ve picked up between my experience and various comment sections over the last 24 hours. It seems to me that there are valid arguments in favor of defederating.
clients could make it more obvious when seeing users / content that are defederated. warning: they won’t see your replies
To spare the users of the 2 affected instances the crappy UX of asymmetric federation.
Do you know when they plan to refederate?
I do not, unfortunately
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.
