Personally, While i appreciate the good moderation and have never had issues here. I have noticed that communities are a lot smaller when viewed from here?

Anyone else think here is a little too closed off?

    in all honesty, I don’t really want to have to spend all my time blocking and curating when I just want to contribute when I can. I usually don’t visit a ton of other lemmy instances, and the ones I do I don’t really comment in, either. maybe I’m overly anxious and skittish, but at the same time, I’m 1) very much already tired and don’t want to spend a ton of time curating a block list and 2) just trying to find a community to fit in where I’m comfortable.

    I know I’m not the most active by far, but I don’t want this community to open up just so we can have more content. more content to me doesn’t always equal good content, I guess.

        It’s like the tiniest step that could possibly be done, and it leaves the ability for Lemmy.ml users to place comments in every post across the Fediverse too - unlike a bona fide instance block, although to my knowledge there are no major instances that actually defederates from them.

        The fact that even Beehaw admins haven’t defederated from them is probably an indication that their users are not that problematic.

      And you would be … 🤣

      I do kid. I enjoy that we have the options to dive into the deep end elsewhere or just hang out in a space where bullshit is quickly quashed. I’m here for discussion and to be active in ensuring this is a place I never find myself regretting joining.

      Is it what everyone wants? Of course not, but that was never the intent of Beehaw to my knowledge. I’m glad you’re happy here and hope you continue to feel that way. And, you know what? Fuck anyone who tells you not to be happy with what you have. This is not Beehaw- or Lemmy-specific, this is life. Never let anyone else bring you down for what you’re comfortable with.
