That’s fair, buuuuut why are the admins moderating comments? Why shouldn’t the moderators mod their communities and report problematic users to admins so those users can be blocked.

The admins are probably modding the communities because they probably created them but the proper solution should be to find mods, not just defederate
They can’t scale. They will die.
They can't scale. They will survive, though. Other generic Lemmy servers are overshadowing Beehaw as a generic Lemmy server. And it is fine for both them and Beehaw, IMO.
They should be running a standard forum software, but are already in too deep to fix the actual problem.
I created my first account there but left for lemmy.world once I realised users couldn't create communities and all the communities were controlled by the same small group of admins.
I had enough of such cabals on Reddit.
No mods, No masters
They did this?
Ok, that's the definition of a powertrip. And exactly what we want to avoid.
We sse it on some communities here btw, some mods owning 60 empty subs. I hope there is a reseting of subs ownership after a month of zero content and activity.
To be honest? I don't like the decision I wish there was a better way to handle this, this might make users not want to join the fediverse out of fear of losing contact with communities that they participate in.
Can I get a ELI5 or a source or something?
If you make an account on beehaw you cant see anything from lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. Same in the opposite direction.
beehaw blocked lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. so people on beehaw can't see lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works content/users and vice versa.
