Why would I want to join “Beehaw”? Is it any better than Lemmyworld?

    Don't know about beehaw but lemmy.world was really getting on my nerves with how slow it was and how often it was down. Lemm.ee has been a much better experience for me.

    There had been some downtimes, apparently due to DDoS attacks, but since then everything is fine. Actually I am not a fan of such elitarian approaches, with a hand-picked user base and too strict moderation. I am actually quite happy on Lemmyworld and was curious what would make Beehaw so special. But I’ll keep Lemm.ee in my mind as a possible alternative.

    Beehaw is just defedrated from most instances and heavily moderated. So it's a lot of LGBT+ and people who were on other instances and got fed up with tankies.

    Hey, no cheating!... /jk

    It has a different moderation style and culture. Best explained in the "rules" of the instance, which is a single "be nice" and some commentary. Admins are strict, but fair, and give you a chance to change your behavior if you accidentally break the rule.

    Their philosophy and rules were a bit of TL;DR for me.

    EDIT: I guess I would be in constant fear of breaking the rules there…

    Hehe, the philosophy docs are a honeypot. There is still only a single rule, they just explain why, and what that means. But if you expect a lot of rules, I can see how their size can discourage someone.

    They've a added some simplified examples, but maybe the honeypot idea has its own merits... 🤔

    It worked on me… 😉 Anyway, I am quite happy here in Lemmyworld and this one also does not defederate that much. It’s possible that Beehaw is the little happy island for the people there, and I wish them to remain happy, but I prefer an instance with less rules and less defederation.
