    Beehaw’s degeneration is actually temporary. They said they would like to refederate with major instances when there’s better mod tools available. The problem is they’re only 4 admins and don’t really have the capability to moderate that well right now.

      I don’t get why they don’t appoint a ton of community moderators. Lemmy allows admins to appoint community mods, and parent mods can create child mods that they control.

      Is there some sort of specific feature they need that is currently missing? If so, what?

      Or do the admins just not want to delegate / relinquish power to others in the community?

        As others have mentioned their mod team is pretty small. In addition their motivation is to cultivate a safe space which is hard to do when other more permissive instances are federated with them.

        In your entire comment history, this is actually the least hostile comment you’ve ever made. Amazing

        Yes, that is good communication. Most people only look at the latest thing. By repeating themselves, the message is the latest thing multiple times, meaning more people see it. Repetition is not a bad thing in mass communications. They’re doing a good job

          I don’t care what kind of job they’re doing, I’m not a beehaw user. I find their tone and attitude irritating. If there is a way to filter all beehaw content from my feed, I would love to know what it is.

            Go find an instance that’s not federated with beehaw. I’m sure you’ll find the pleasant people you’re looking for
