I never saw any post from there so can't comment.
I don't think beehaw's mods are in a power trip. They want to keep their community with like minded people and having open instances that are difficult to moderate on your own is not the best way for that. All in all, for me it's federation going right. Instead of brigading, they put it on hold for the time being
Yeah, I just wish they'd done that from the start instead of the confusing bait 'n switch.
Somebody else said it best, I think - Beehaw is using the wrong tools for what they want to be. They should have been simply a bbs-style forum instead of a federated instance.
If you want to have a curated safe-space that’s totally fine, but when you also want to be a part of a larger community then you get to deal with that larger community, for better or worse.
