Beehaw, one of the largest lemmy instances, announces that it will be defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Info and announcements about the instance.
I wonder if there's some other reason. Yes, Lemmy.world is public and people can register freely... But I'm yet to find a single troll or outright abusive account, and I basically follow /new all day long.
So as far as I can see, the "moderators are getting overloaded with trolls from Lemmy.world!" isn't true. Could be in the future, but not now, really.
It's hard to imagine tbh. I haven't seen a single troll. I've seen all of one person get a little temper going but nothing outright malicious or offensive. Ngl, I'd be interested to see some examples of said trolls. Not denying it, just super curious as to what qualifies as trolling in this case.
