what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world? - Lemmy.world

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?

Lemmy.world still has all the content it pulled from beehaw before they defederated, but they won't sync anymore, so you won't see new beehaw posts, and they won't see any posts, comments or upvotes from lemmy.world
Was there a reason why they defederated??
someone got butthurt it sounds like.
Maybe we need to write them an apology letter in their sign-up to rejoin.
Gay fuck that
Comments like this... now I understand why they defederated.
snickers in agreement
I'm not kissing your, or anyone else's ass. The fact that a lot of you Embrace and encourage other people to determine how other people should behave, is a jackass entitled way of thinking.
Bro they literally just want people to be nice, how on earth is that concept making you so angry?

My guess is they are the kind of person who thinks free speech is the one and ultimate truth in life. Also free speech means "I can use slurs and bully people to suicide but if you call me a bigot then you don't appreciate free speech" without realizing the irony of not accepting the free speech of others.

Seen it so many times.

Yeah, how dare people use a voluntary system of association to avoid dealing with assholes like you.
Your profile pic is really cool. I didn't know you could use a gif as your profile pic
I didn't either. I discovered it by accident.

Fuck'em. No one wants to talk to a bunch of sensitive sissy men anyways.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 better watch out, being sassy will get you a spanking.

How dare you not consider the feelings of the billions of people on planet Earth that use the internet. Absolutely preposterous
