      It’s a safe space and the fediverse rapidly expanded tenfold. Beehaw has stated outright that they want to refederate with the big instances, but are delaying until mod tools improve enough to allow them to maintain their safe space for their gaggle of vulnerable folks in the wake of the severely increased workload.

        That’s nice and all, but “join our instance” and “we’re defederated from the other two biggest instances” are in direct opposition to each other, doesn’t matter what excuses you use.

          Only if you don’t think about it are they not mutually exclusive ideas. Safe space first, increase size of safe space second.

      Beehaw: You should join our instance

      Where does it say that?

      This isn’t Reddit/Meta/𝕏, they don’t get paid for selling more ads. If you don’t know why to join, then don’t 🙂

      Beehaw: We’re defederating from two of the largest instances.

      Is “largest” a good thing? Reddit is even larger, is that better?

      Not all people want to be with all others all the time, smaller instances of like-minded people make it easier to pick your own crowds.
