MODERATORS
Beehaw's degeneration is actually temporary. They said they would like to refederate with major instances when there's better mod tools available. The problem is they're only 4 admins and don't really have the capability to moderate that well right now.
We know, they continually remind us.
In your entire comment history, this is actually the least hostile comment you've ever made. Amazing
Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure he intended it to be more hostile. Maybe next time. :)
Username is assbutt, I expect nothing but shit-talking from them.

Yes, that is good communication. Most people only look at the latest thing. By repeating themselves, the message is the latest thing multiple times, meaning more people see it. Repetition is not a bad thing in mass communications. They're doing a good job
I don't care what kind of job they're doing, I'm not a beehaw user. I find their tone and attitude irritating. If there is a way to filter all beehaw content from my feed, I would love to know what it is.
Go find an instance that's not federated with beehaw. I'm sure you'll find the pleasant people you're looking for
yeah, that's what i've read. They're protecting their people, and that's an admirable thing. Wonder where cross instances admin tools are on the roadmap.
In any case our equivalent federated communities are coming up to strength now and we're starting to get decent levels of interactions without them.
As others have mentioned their mod team is pretty small. In addition their motivation is to cultivate a safe space which is hard to do when other more permissive instances are federated with them.
'Tis the reason why they should not consider refederating. Having their own sets of accounts and some strict and underwhelmed modding is sufficient for their purpose of cultivating their safe space. Maybe others won't agree with their methods, but their purpose demands these methods in their space
I've read every scrap of documentation on their website, and still don't have a good sense what exactly their "values" are. In one sentence they sound more woke than Reddit, in the next sentence they sound like they're pushing back on overwrought codes of conduct.
Honestly, Beehaw just comes across as one quirky individual's vanity project, created out of spite after he got modded on another board, and it somehow stumbled into drawing a crowd.
They said fuck you to everyone and isolated themselves
Beehaw is still federated with most servers, they're not isolated. There are a few that are defederated from for differences like allowing hate speech, but the two big ones were to ease up the moderation demands as they had open sign ups without captcha from what I recall. They were the source of a lot of spam and making moderation a headache. The admins plan to revisit the issue if better mod tools are developed, it's still a young platform and better tools could make it easier to moderate without cutting off whole servers.
If it’s a moderation thing, how is lemmy.world dealing with it? LW has a significantly larger user base.
