Yeah, I do wonder if Beehaw is just block happy. I am scared of clicking on their list of banned instances (like if it's really shitty stuff that no sane human can look at), but they have blocked almost 400 instances.

They haven't blocked the main Lemmy one though. I'm guessing the main Lemmy instance has gotten better with the reddit migration.

What they did was the following : they defederated with Top 2 and Top 4 from what I understand (2 of the top 5).

For, reference Lemmy.ml has 35k users, Lemmy.world around 20-25k ish, shitjustworks 10k, beehaw 10k. Then theres a lot of small lemmy instances beehaw hasn't banned which go from a few hundred to a few thousand. The numbers might be slightly off since the user count tools are having issues on the lemmy side of things.
