Oh I forgot they still exist! They defederated from sh.itjust.works a long time ago but said they will revise that decision when moderation is getting better. They never did!
At the cost of manual curation, meaning the largest instances such as Lemmy.World had to be defederated. So… they choose quality (niceness) over quantity. And it works:-).
It’s just a normal mainstream instance. Fairly heavily moderated. I subscribe to a few communities on there, but mostly they’re much quieter than their sister communities on other servers. I’m not subscribed to anything on there which is particularly unique or standout.

It must be quiet without LW and SJW
Otherwise, good meme OP
It has a high signal to noise ratio though, I tend to enjoy whatever discussions I have and see on it.
The communities there are always pleasant to read. I genuinely see no negativity or hostility there.
Literally that is true by law :-)
I know, and they do a great job of enforcing that.

I see the appeal
Are we missing out on anything important or particularly valuable? (actual question, I’m not familiar with Beehaw)

I do not really know. The last thing I heard is that they wanted to look out for another platform than Lemmy, so I’m a bit surprised they stayed here
