      As others have mentioned their mod team is pretty small. In addition their motivation is to cultivate a safe space which is hard to do when other more permissive instances are federated with them.

        'Tis the reason why they should not consider refederating. Having their own sets of accounts and some strict and underwhelmed modding is sufficient for their purpose of cultivating their safe space. Maybe others won’t agree with their methods, but their purpose demands these methods in their space

      They want a safe space for their particular values, so defederated with every instance which doesn’t.

        I’ve read every scrap of documentation on their website, and still don’t have a good sense what exactly their “values” are. In one sentence they sound more woke than Reddit, in the next sentence they sound like they’re pushing back on overwrought codes of conduct.

        Honestly, Beehaw just comes across as one quirky individual’s vanity project, created out of spite after he got modded on another board, and it somehow stumbled into drawing a crowd.
