Beehaw’s statement - “we are explicitly a safe space for minorities. […] We do not have the technical expertise to create a new tool from scratch—all we can do is leverage tools that already exist”

@worfamerryman Oh, looking back, FediTips was rather circumspect. It wasn’t just a matter of mods /passively/ falling short of stated policy. Bit more context here.

Not a rabbit hole I cared to explore, but it’s there if you’re curious. Of course, as the Beehaw statement says, the software itself can be wielded for good until something better comes along. To the extent that it and Kbin are similar, many folks take the baggage into consideration as a tie-breaker.
