I read that they “defederated”… What does this mean? And why did they do this? And what are the consequences?

    This sounds incredibly dumb. The nice thing about the feddyverse is that you can receive content from other servers and comment on it imho. Very disappointing.

      Wel, they explain that in this case, it wasn’t all that nice to receive content from other servers, because it was a lot of work to moderate posts of users from two instances with no sign up requirements. They also said they couldnt wait on moderation tools being developed. They’ll refederate once the storm dies down I strongly believe.
