Referring to the Beehaw instance, I’ve noticed a few users from World on and off (myself included but that was mainly due to a massive falling out with the admins over something private)
Have offhandedly mentioned they either have an issue with Beehaw, or don’t like beehaw in some capacity. I was wondering why that was, or if it’s just a very small number of people that don’t like them and I just happened to see only a few.
It seems that the Beehaw take the idea of a moderated community free from certain influences quite seriously and chose to defederate from some lemmy instances that were open to bot abuse and certain political beliefs (I think). The idea is to be proactive until better moderation tools are available. But some other instances seem to see the Beehaw admins as snooty or elitists. I could have it wrong but that’s my current impression.
