Personally, While i appreciate the good moderation and have never had issues here. I have noticed that communities are a lot smaller when viewed from here?
Anyone else think here is a little too closed off?
I don’t really mind. I created an alt on a larger lemmy instance a while back to subscribe to meme communities, and to be quite honest the comments are really bad, frequently as bad or worse than Reddit. I think Beehaw is just aiming for something different than other instances. Then again, I’m old enough to have been part of forums where the pace of discussions was much slower than most aggregator style sites are today so it doesn’t really bother me.
Because of it being so closed off I’ve hopped instances
And honestly I’m probably going to hop again because having down votes disabled isn’t very good IMO
Edit: 1 big thing though that I wish existed Lemmy wide would be if you have a comment or post removed (hell even bans) you get a message to your inbox. As it currently stands it just happens and unless you check mod logs you’ll never know.
Could say the same about mastodon,
How is blahaj zone?
It’s pretty chill in general and is well moderated
It’s has the occasional instability day here and there but it gets sorted out pretty quick
They don’t federate down votes and you can’t give them out which IMO isn’t the best
But I’d say it’s a nice place overall
