What's the deal with beehaw.org? - eviltoast

Is there drama or a story I’m missing? As I understand it, from lemmy.world I can see their posts but they cannot see mine. Why did beehaw block lemmy.world?

    Agree with the sentiment, I don’t need it nor is it my thing, I prefer to be the one that has to do the blocking rather than mods, but I can see why it’s there.

    I hate when people try to do safe spaces and some outsider looks at it and starts staying it’s authoritarian, an echo chamber, propaganda, power hungry admins, etc. Like, dude if there is a group of people that want to be protected from certain rethoric, it’s pathetic to act with indignation just because the don’t want everyone to interact. Not every community is about fitting everyone and being neutral, as long as they are transparent with it let them have their place in peace.

      It feels kind of creepy. But if they like it, I guess that’s their business.

        I don’t feel it as creepy; it’s useful for some situations, topics, and people. In special, it’s a good way to build a comfy place for people in marginalised groups to talk about their stuff, without hearing for the 20956th time the same helicopter joke.
