i think that’s an intrinsic value of beehaw. if someone wants a more “reddit” experience, other prominent instances give that. beehaw curates a safe environment for discussion and by default i think that will make it a smaller community.

i didn’t notice the lack of swearing until you mentioned it, that’s so bizarre lol. i didnt even think about it but it’s pretty cool :p

this is valuable for reflection. thanks for sharing, i appreciate it

question for you, if you don’t mind. you mention users ‘calling in’:

“I think the community has already done a wonderful job self-moderating and calling people in, that is to say, encouraging nice behavior.”

what does that look like to you in a public discussion format like beehaw? i read the piece that you hyperlinked, and maybe this is just my ignorance showing, but i still don’t know how this looks when all of the discussion is primarily ‘one-to-many’ as opposed to ‘one-to-one’; for lack of better phrasing.

petition for “mods” to be renamed to beekeepers

major W that’s awesome

i’d wager it’s probably the opposite precisely because they own all these :p

i really love this and i’ve shared more than one of your posts with friends outside of the beehaw ecosystem.

these posts are critical in helping me restructure myself and my thinking.

thank you 💛

what’s the story lads :))

i enjoy anime, small bits of gaming, general youtube/twitch online culture and consumer-centric tech. looking forward to joining the community; don’t be afraid to remind me of my privilege blindspots

thanks :p
