    Personally, I’m thankful that I got into the fediverse a short time after it defederated. I haven’t missed much and I haven’t interacted with it much.

    You are right of course. Beehaw is an independent instance and as such reserves the right to moderate their space as they like.

    If people really want to access it, they can always just create a separate account on it.

    Though reading through their code of conduct here:

    https://beehaw.org/post/1042456

    It suggests a very controlling and stifling environment that’s not really conducive to open online discussion. And maybe it was intended that way, as a safe space for the “softer” more sensitive people in the internet. And that is respectable.

    But it has the potential to be an echo-chamber, the same as what Tildes is. It’s a too sheltered experience that is more suited to private group chats rather than a publicly accessible forum.

    In short, bothering with it, especially if you are not this type of target audience is ultimately a drain in energy and an exercise in futility.
