Yeah we all understand that they want quality content but its getting ridiculous on their part, its not that hard to moderate if you get some Mods. And if its that hard to moderate it may be because guidelines are either to strict or straight up ridiculous...

They probably are fairly strict, and from my experience the moderators / admins are fairly opinionated on a lot of topics, so it’s hard to grow a large, like-minded community.

I really do hope they manage to stick around in the fediverse though even if that means they will have to isolate themselves a lot. I think the fediverse will be much stronger and better if communities like beehaw can manage to exist in it.

Idk, beehaw isn't the most important thing and i get wanting to grow your stuff, but beehaw is like someone planting a forest of just one specific tree and they kill every other tree, its becoming a echo chamber like hexbear and Lemmygrad where they just keep radicalizing each other.

You can have narrow and niche interest communities and echo chambers without it being “radicalizing” each other. They can just all be very interested in this one type of tree, and that’s fine be me.

Niche communitys and interests are something different from limiting whats allowed to say.

No, monocultures are bad, an environment always needs different plants to survive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

But not all types of plants, as invasive species will wipe out diversity.

Have to find a place where there is variety that is within a certain range of the rest so they bring each other up.

True.

Best example of this is in the urbanism space IMO, where we frequently speak highly of various cities and regions due to their amazing designs and infrastructure, but there's not much mention that there's more to a city than that - such as the job market, housing affordability, services, crime, etc...
