Beehaw is a quieter experience than most because it has narrower federation, but you do tend to get a better signal to noise ratio since you miss the spammier instances - I like it.
Beehaw also doesn't federate downvotes which I think is an improvement.
Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.
Posting from a Beehaw account I think does have a psychological effect on me that causes me to naturally tone things down a bit. I think it's been good for me.
Yeah and in addition to that the overall "be(e) nice" rule means that people are generally just a lot more pleasant to be around and less abrasive than what I see in some of the other larger instances.
Only issue is I recently opened another account because theyre leaving lemmy eventually and currently my posts dont federate and all my subscriptions are pending.
Nothing's concrete yet. I have accounts on several instances for their various advantages, but Beehaw is what I've settled on as my main "default" for now. The Subscribe Pending is a bug, I don't think it affects your posts federating so they're separate issues if that's the case.
