Nuhuh, beehaws active user count and seemingly inclusive nature drew me in
Heck yeah! It's a great place to have a thoughtful discussion.
It really isn't. Just look at their "rules"
Beehaw is the only instance that has the most other instances blocked. Users from beehaw can't even see this comment, nor yours if you reply to this one.
The rules being "We reserve the right to ban you whenever we want.” are not rules.
You should have seen Beehaws earlier rule set, there was a rule aganst asking for sources
lmao, that doesn't surprise me. got an archive or image of that? sounds hilarious
https://web.archive.org/web/20220310045805/https://beehaw.org/ Sealioning is asking for evidence btw... if you did not know the lingo
Sealioning is so easy to counter, just link your sources beforehand smile
So now I know the backstory of why so much "sealioning" comments were popping up from certain instances... makes sense.
Oh my god, you just reminded me. What if the power-tripping r/askwomen mods migrate here? They are assholes, even to random women asking innocent questions.
I didn’t even mind writing an application and waiting a bit to be accepted. Of all the instances I looked at, Beehaw was the one that appealed to me the most.
Yeah I think kindness and positivity are a bit too rare online, seems to be prioritised here!
