      I mean personally they immediately dogpiled me, which has never happened with another instance’s users. But I also immediately blocked all the right wing instances on any accounts that didn’t start defederated from them, so I’m sure that has substantial impact.

      I definitely think they’re nowhere near at leftist as they think they are, though, just by virtue of their tendency to stuff memes in their ears and loudly shout libliblib. It reminds me of the racist nimbyism of ostensibly progressive people who aren’t ever able to examine their own ideas and behaviors critically.

      To me leftism requires some degree of intellectual honesty and humility or it’s just the kind of self-serving performative lib bullshit they accuse everyone else of as a literal hobby.

      As far as Beehaw goes, I usually use at least one or two other instances to have a bit of a wider reach, but it certainly does make a comfy sort of home base.

      Edit: I find the blahaj staff’s treatment of a user politely disagreeing with them pretty disappointing. Not winning anybody over in this thread.

        Can you clarify please? Neither myself nor Kaity have been active in this thread

        If you’re referring to the 196 mods, none of them are Blahaj staff. Feel free to DM me with more details if it’s something an admin needs to look in to.

          Maybe it was 196 mods? It looks like some of her posts were removed that were completely innocuous.
