    They will always be welcome to participate in our communities via federation, but we may not have the bandwidth to accommodate everyone in a way which does not compromise our ethos. If you haven’t had a second to check out the philosophy posts in the sidebar, it will give you an idea of where we intend to take this place. This is an explicitly nice and safe space, and we are perfectly fine with driving traffic that isn’t explicitly nice elsewhere.

      Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but does that mean Beehaw automatically federates with new instances and only the explicit Blocklist can’t? I was toying with the idea of maintaining my own single user instance for stability but don’t want to run the risk of being excluded if it goes private in the future.

        i believe we automatically federate, yeah. federation here seems to explicitly work in a way where if you just leave the “Allowed Instances” section blank (as we do), you federate with all instances except the ones you have explicitly blacklisted.

        Oh, that’s an idea I hadn’t thought of. I have a private server at home. I could set up an instance for myself as long as I can continue to interact with others.
