From the article:
"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.
Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."
Or it will just kill Beehaw because they’re now cut off from most of the other larger lemmy instances. Unless their users are just super loyal for some reason. If I were a member there I would have already jumped ship.
They seem to really like it there. I don’t blame them, from the quality of the discussions I’ve seen there.
In any case, it’s a temporary situation. Probably. Depends on how the various admins proceed, I guess.
These are growing pains due to the large influx of new users (me among them). Some of them are painful, but they will pass. I’m sure things will open back up as the moderation tools improve.
