I’m afraid I don’t have an account on beehaw and I don’t have any bookmarks either but essentially they pose themselves as “neutral” but they are the far-right definition of neutral. The first issue was their terrible excuse to defederate from lemmygrad, they weren’t sincere at all, they just kept making it look like they were doing some sort of “good thing”, from that point they kept removing any strongly left-wing comments and banning users who disagreed with the American narrative of world events.
Oh gotcha, thanks for the summary!
As an alternate viewpoint: admittedly, I haven’t been super involved there, so maybe I missed some stuff, but I haven’t seen anything like what that person was talking about. Lemmygrad are a bunch of tankies, the dumb shit they say makes the left look bad. From what I understand, people on the right seem to hate Beehaw because of their strong moderation policy.
I’m pretty sure the person you replied to is just a triggered tankie. “disagreed with the American narrative of world events,” means, “they removed my Russian propaganda posts.” I would take what they say with a grain of salt.
Oh lol, I hoped over to beehaw briefly to check it out abd…yeah it doesn’t seem to line up with that comment, strong moderation yeah, but ah well. Thanks for providing some additional context!
Yeah I like beehaw, I made an account on Lemm.ee after they decided to defed from world and nuked the content I see
