in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.
since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?
I have an account with beehaw. It’s my favorite place on the internet. I think most of us are happy with the way it has panned out. Some discussion here and there of potentially leaving activitypub altogether. If it happens, I will follow. If it doesn’t I will stay. Beehaw is too special for those of us it speaks to and works for. I don’t see it dying anytime soon, that’s for sure.
Care to elaborate a bit on what it is that makes you like it so much?
It’s nice to know that the odds of encountering bots, trolls, and bigots are incredibly low. Yes, there is less content, but it’s the only place I don’t have to scroll passed vitriol and misinformation regularly. It’s wonderful.
