It might appear so, at least within Lemmyworld. From here I’m speculating, but there still is a report button. If that goes to Beehaw’s mods and admins then it will be annoying for them but at least users outside of Lemmyworld won’t be exposed to it. If it goes to Lemmyworld mods then they can also weed out the unscrupulous users.
Not exactly, because it’s not like mods are on vacation, and I don’t know what incentive trolls would have to post somewhere they can’t get a rise out of most people or spew their propaganda.
I do think there’s got to be a more prominently displayed flag when within a community that is currently defederated.
100% agree with the bottom statement. There needs to be a way to say that this is not content from beehaw.
As for modding though… since federation was severed, wouldn’t someone like a beehaw c/lgbtq_plus mod not be able to touch content that was being posted to [email protected] on the LW instance?
Couldn’t it just turn into a shit show of people impersonating communities within an instance?
I’ll try to get some information on it from the admins, whether reports propagate to the hosted instance, the post’s instance (and whether it still works after de-fed) or both.
In any case the lemmy.world admins should ban misbehaving and impersonating users.
And are those de-federated posts and comments unmoderated?
How do people prevent an instance like LW from flying completely toxic content under a “beehaw” community’s flag?

Seems like this effectively creates a community wide version of twitter’s verification check removal.
Depending upon what instance you’re using to view a community, you could be getting fed disinformation or hate speech and not know it. No?
