I just found out about this and it’s very disheartening. I can see trolls being a valid problem but the solution is more mods. What beehaw did is very detrimental to the health of the fediverse, especially in the most crucial month. With two of the largest instances split from each other, it’ll be twice as hard to grow a critical mass of content.

I’m blocking all beehaw communities myself. I don’t want to contribute to a instance where the admins are selfish.
