I can’t remember why I blocked them exactly, to be honest, but I remember thinking they were almost as annoying as hexbear users, and I can’t be bothered to go have a second look now to see exactly why. Clearly, I was annoyed with them enough to block them, as the ones I listed above are the only instances I have blocked save for lemmynsfw (which is just because I don’t care for porn in my feed).
Most instances that are “nice to people” have the tendency to not allow most opinions and their admins are prone to powertripp. I think their instance basically shut down due to funding, thats the last info i had.
Beehaw has been… difficult. If you disagree that something is *phobia or *phobic then it’s a quick way to get them mad at you.
I remember somebody ( person A) getting especially angry because another person (person B) used the pronoun “them” to refer to person A. It was pointed out that not every client shows the pronouns beside the username and still it was considered *phobic.
That sounds frustrating. I understand what their instance is all about and I want to believe they’re mostly decent people who sometimes wrongly lash out at perceived slights.
