in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.
since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?
I had an account that got banned from .ml for telling the kids that their meme responses to everything are childish.
They also remove any and all comments that even politely suggest that their instance is in danger of becoming comparable to Hexbear/Lemmygrad.
