    They advertise themselves as a safe space.

    being safe and being open are somewhat detrimental to each other.
    They choose to be less open, to be more safe.

    Fine by me, but I’d expect them to turn into a LGBTQIA+ (is that the current one?) echo chamber before long.
    And maybe I’ll be wrong, and that’ll be fine too.

        It’s somewhat ironic that this is just the sort of statement that beehaw admins are fed up of moderating away.

          Yeah I’ve definitely noticed a running set of themes in the posts that are most critical of this move and it’s making me much more sympathetic to Beehaw’s decision.

            Assholes don’t like being told they’re not invited to the party. And the reasons they’re not invited are… Well, things start to get recursive at this point.

      Funny to me that people like you always complain about “safe spaces” in the same breath that you make it clear you can’t handle something as irrelevant to you as someone’s sexuality. That’s projecting fragility. These aren’t “safe spaces,” they’re just only allowing decent people who don’t flip their shit when they find out what two consenting adults want to do with their bodies.

        I mean the description on join lemmy is “ Aspiring to be(e) a safe, friendly and diverse place.” So I think that counts?
