I am one of the admins of Beehaw and I’m trying to get some feedback on our potential move.
Let’s start out with a little Beehaw history before judgements are passed, please.
A handful of us were beta testing Tildes when we decided to have discussions on a Discord server.
We decided that our ‘Northern Star’ or guiding principle would culminate as ‘Be Nice’ with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.
We talked for a little over a year and some of our members became impatient. Then someone stepped in to suggest a couple of platforms that we could consider getting started with.
One of those platforms was Lemmy. None of us knew, at that time, anything about ActivityPub.
During the Reddit exodus (surrounding the API outcry and blackout), our instance exploded. We were, initially, crippled by the mass amounts of users seeking refuge.
Thankfully, someone stepped in and volunteered hundreds of hours of work to stabilize our instance and refine it further.
After many hours of talks, it became clear to us that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.
Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.
Lmao, the hypocrisy. Comfortable as a motherfucker using racist, ableist concepts to slander one’s opponents; that is, until it gets turned around on your peckerwood ass, then it’s time to pearl-clutch, concern-troll, and crybully. Shut your techbro settler ass up.

Hmmmmm, all that bullshit is worthless talk in the face of you upping a racist, ableist concept developed by a eugenicist cracker to justify sterilizing people; which means you’re still the most hypocritical cracker in the room for still pearl clutching like this. Don’t want to be called a cracker, don’t do cracker things. Cracker.
EDIT: And now that I’m thinking about it, imagine actually thinking it’s possible to be racist to settler-descent crackers lmfao
