Ironically all of the drama and complaining seems to be coming from instances outside of Beehaw, being dramatic and complaining about Beehaw. The content there is actually good.

Really it's just drama caused by the platform not maturing yet. Beehaw's reasons behind defederating from large instances like lemmy.world are valid, but it's not like other instances made them do it. It's a choice they made to be able to create the space they want in lieu of proper mod tools. Hope they realise it won't be an overnight fix, and the longer they stick to their guns the greater the risk of their communities fizzling out, which would be a shame as I agree they are some of the best.

Quite agreed. It really doesn't take much more effort to sign up under their system, but it seems people on other instances love complaining about things they know nothing about.

I noticed the same thing about North Korea. You never hear anyone complaining about dictatorship inside the country.

This is a false dichotomy at best and ragebait at worse. Do better
