Thanks for the update and for the link to the reasoning -- I had completely missed it.
Based on the initial post (only mentioning defederation without linking to the Details), it sounded like the three servers had a falling-out of some sort, but this sounds reasonable. I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to maintain a welcoming environment.
From a user perspective, I think I'm mostly frustrated with the lack of visibility with these changes, specifically trying to keep track of what I do and don't have access to. I don't think that's the responsibility of beehaw to implement, but I might continue to look for solutions
While it's not the easiest to sort through, the Instances list at the bottom of the page shows every instance we're federated with and those that are blocked. This will always show what you do and don't have access to through your Beehaw account (or through your account on another instance should you sign up elsewhere). Direct link if it's easier: https://beehaw.org/instances
You're awesome, thank you.
I saw the "instances" link at the bottom, but I assumed it was just a variation on the join-lemmy.org site (which I see is another one of the links down there). Please forgive me, still learning the platform :-)
I'm pretty sure most of us are still learning the platform, and the defederation is certainly adding to the list of things to figure out as a user. I'd rather people ask than just silently wonder. :)
