Beehaw is lovely and everyone is free to do as they please, but I genuinely think everyone on social medias should be striving for something like what Beehaw is. It’s a pipe dream, but trying to aggressively foster positivity and counter outrage is just good hygiene. Negativity breeds negativity and it’s extremely difficult to keep spaces positive, but I think there’s also a path dependence here that has made the internet so much more toxic than it needs to have been, even off of other social medias which have encouraged that exact toxicity for the ease of clicks. It’s frustrating seeing all the misrepresentations of what beehaw is, out and about, but oh well. Appreciate the levelheaded view on the defederations.
