I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don’t understand after all… Can someone dumb it down for me?

Was there a reason why they defederated??

Apparently the 4 admins are having trouble dealing with the influx of new users, so they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because their open registration policies are giving them the most problems.

Ok I’m one of the new users and it looks like I’ve commented on communities hosted there maybe a half dozen times. I guess I’m part of the problem 😔
But I’m a little unclear about the role an admin plays on an instance? Are they actually taking on mod responsibilities, in which case I can certainly understand how 4 would be totally swamped?
I guess in my head I sort of imagined each community has its own mod(s) and the admins would only step in as a kind of “supreme court” if some dispute gets out of hand? I’ve probably got this totally wrong.
Yeah that’s what I was wondering. I’m just going off what they said. I know they don’t allow communities to be created except what they did themselves, so maybe they are taking on all the mod responsibilities?
Yes but this is a nonstandard approach. For most instances it works as you had originally described.
someone got butthurt it sounds like.

Maybe we need to write them an apology letter in their sign-up to rejoin.
