a lot of the beehaw communities have alternatives in the rest of the lemmyverse. while I can participate in beehaw communities, i personally found it more useful to just block all beehaw communities (so I don’t accidentally post there) and participate in the non-beehaw communities so I’m interacting with the majority of the fediverse.
most of the other instances are low-drama and don’t have issues with defederating/shadowbanning like beehaw does!
There’s no reason you can’t have it both ways. Ban behaw here, and join beehaw there, if you feel any fear of missing out.
I think that’s one of the best things about federation. You get to taste both options. If they’re right about high-admission instances leading to lower quality content, the only way to know it is to be in both places. Thankfully, we can.
