whilst true, that more or less fundamentally undermines the marketing pitch of the whole concept of a federated social media network. the more walls are erected, the closer the system becomes to the PHP forums of old. only now, they’re marketed as “intrinsically connected (but with a theoretically growing amount of asterisks, as X server can’t link to A or G servers, and Q, S, and Y servers are all disconnected from the entire first half of the alphabet but F, and…)” which doesn’t exactly make a place appear accommodating or grokable from the outside looking in. it’s actually kind of less enticing than just a regular old PHP forum, the more fragmented it becomes.

it is the will of each server’s users at the end of day. and if the majority of beehaw wants to defed from problem servers, then its the right choice for beehaw as a community to make. but there’s a definite, palpable downside to every defed, and that shouldn’t really be brushed over.

coming from kbin, the answer so far is no, your server is non-connected. :/
