An important part of federation is that you can freely choose who you want to federate with and who not.
Why does it make people wonder when they did a great job explaining why they made their decision and even made a post warning people that they might have to defederate?
And that's the entire point of the whole thing.. The entire point is that anyone can create a community that they can run however they want (as long as it doesn't impact other communities).. Moderation isn't a bad thing, it's a necessary thing.. Nobody wants illegal pornography and harmful material on their servers..
And beehawk is and always has been very open about them wanting to be a safe space community with strong moderation.. They openly state that their entire motivation for creating their community is to have much stronger moderation than in other social media sites..
