Found threads from six months back on the latter: beehaw.org/post/594843 / sh.itjust.works/post/129725
I don’t expect Beehaw to refederate anytime soon. As of last month they were still considering moving to another platform: https://beehaw.org/post/9558079
As for infosec.pub, I’ll chat with the other admins about inviting them to refederate. My understanding is that they were getting a lot of reports related to our instance and decided to pull the plug on us.
Is BeeHaw any good? I just submitted a registration to check it out. I never got to see it before it was defederated.
I don’t really know honestly. My instance is still federated with them, and I don’t see much of them. I do see a few users from there, but I rarely see their posts in all. They’re mostly just a little isolated community off to the side that does their own thing, which I think is what they want
If you enjoy tame, chill conversations and memes and little else then yes. Good is very subjective. I personally do not like beehaw, it’s a bit bland for me. The community was set up to be(e) a walled garden and it’s about as good as a federated walled garden can be.
I’m sure infosec.pub would bring a good bit of intelligent activity our way!
Thank you :)
With the way the Beehaw admins were acting back when they defederated, I wouldn’t expect Beehaw to ever refederate.
They were happy and quick to defederate and seemed proud of it.
both have to do with open registration it appears
It seems easier to register in infosec.pub than on sh.itjust.works, I just did it and there’s not even a captcha. It might have more to do with the server problems and what it may be doing to other instances. Or it might just be that time of the year again,

There’s a lot of vague accusations, but it’s hard finding evidence, perhaps because of the nature of it.
I’m curious why it’s not showing up with the rest of the comments (or my reply to it) but there isn’t a modlog removal.
I remember that comment. Did you leave it under this post?
It still shows up here: sh.itjust.works/comment/6657926
But it isn’t visible when viewing the whole thread.

Beehaw has their own vibe going on and that’s fine too. I wouldn’t expect them to refederate with us anymore than with .world. Don’t hate them for it.
I do believe we run tighter moderation after expanding the team, so I think refederation could be possible with infosec.pub if we reached out.
There’s somewhat of a flaw in the report system when a local user commits abuse on a remote community and as such, a matrix back-channel is kind of a necessity for now. I think as long as we make sure to have that it should be possible to make this work.
