Beehaw admins shot themselves in the foot, it was supposed to be the no.1 by now but they decided to persecute the left instead.
Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn’t want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.
When I switched they were one of the biggest communities, I’m really surprised to see just HOW FAR they fell.
