Beehaw is more welcoming, but them not federating LW and SJW probably removes 90% of the Lemmy content to their users.

Also, they don't plan to update to newer Lemmy versions, which also prevents their users from using new features like instance blocking.

Again, that's their game plan.

Federating with certain instances increases their moderators workload. Their moderators/admins are expected to perform at a high level (provide a safe place).
Beehaw respects their moderators/admins. So without the adequate moderation tools, defederation is pretty much their only option.
They are considering other community platforms. They are hoping federation/Lemmy works for them, but they aren't willing to compromise on their community goals

I am aware they want to switch to another software, and that's fine.

It just seems a bit ironic that they complained a lot in the past (and rightfully so) about the lack of moderation tools, but now they don't offer their users a very powerful one: user-level instance blocking.
