I think Beehaw have a fine idea.
I think they picked the wrong platform for it.
They split from tildes.net originally.
There is no reason why they can't defederate from everyone when they build their community. The people that dont like it will just move away.
The sore spot is that people thought it was breaking Lemmy for a week. You can't even tell now.
The platform allows for people to curate their instances into smaller communities if that is what they are after. They found the platform and for some reason people are mad at them for doing it. Their goal is to create a small safe and welcoming place. To do so they will inherently have a smaller community and that's okay.
