Five of those were from me. Hedging my bets across multiple instances. Can't imagine I'm the only one?

Five?? I just have an nsfw and a sfw one.

Why bother hedging?

As an example, Beehaw just de-federated from lemmy.world and with sh.itjust.works. But since I primarily drop anchor at startrek.website (and since I've replicated my subscriptions across all my accounts), I just flip over to that account and still have access to everything.

Oh? Why did beehaw defederate? Does that mean beehaw is cut off from everyone else?

Expected reasons. Federated systems make moderation more difficult, compounded with poor availability of moderation tools on the platform today. https://beehaw.org/post/567170

Ugh, Beehaw denied my registration so I guess just can't get their content anymore.

Damn, I just assumed they were screening to ensure real users acting in good faith. Didn't expect them to actually be rejecting people.
