You’d be better off without them, they (the runners of the instance, not the userbase) are a bunch of absolutely cowardly little liars. They were more than happy to accept the massive boon this instance gave them and at the same time agitate and concern troll here to try to drive a wedge in the userbase. I find that shit deeply irritating, especially since they claim to be apolitical and merely blocking instances for “hate speech” which (aside from being a political concept) was seemingly the false pretext they have for also blocking hexbear.net, which is currently forked but is the only instance with substantial usership to mandate pronouns and has much more aggressive anti-racist moderation.
If you simper enough, I’m sure they’ll be happy to have you back since they seem the type to feel they are never receiving enough sycophantic flattery, but that’s a bad trade for you.
Exactly. Politics affect every little instance of your daily lives, from the taxes you pay, through the type of food you buy (local or imported?), to the sex of people you can get married to.
Generally means they’re either clueless or that they want to delete particular views.
I do have concerns about this instance and free speech, but I haven’t bothered to do enough research yet. I’d love to hear more about it either way.
I also hate that I sometimes have to get off of a platform to talk about that platform. I was effectively copying things done for the League of Legends subreddit to here, and I didn’t really feel comfortable talking about it in Reddit DMs.
Can you link to me where Beehaw claims it was apolitical? From the inclusion of LGBTQ+ and feminism, Politics being similar to the politics subreddit, it would seem to me beehaw generally leans left in terms of culture.

If someone claims to be “apolitical” it’s a huge red flag, in itself.

Being apolitical is just being ignorant.
