I liked beehaw, but I stopped using it when one of the admins alyaza or whatever her name is started being a total asshole and basically violating all of their own rules (not assuming good faith discussions, being aggressive, etc, etc).
It sucks too, because I really liked the community but I didn’t want to invest any more time there because it seemed like the capricious whims of an overzealous admin with an agenda could tear it all down(sound familiar). Ironically, they have an article on beehaw about people just quietly leaving a place because assholes ruin it. Which is what I did. They say they want to be inclusive and diverse, but it absolutely didnt feel welcoming when that admin went on a tear.
There isn’t a better community on lemmy though.
I am on here and not on reddit but it’s not even in the ballpark of what reddit used to be. Id honestly go back to Reddit in a heartbeat if RiF was allowed to exist.
I honestly think, if there was a Lemmy 2.0 it should be more of a hub/spoke model where you could create an account on a hub, then subscribe to whatever spokes you want. But not every instance needs to have dozens of subunits. It just waters everything down.
Basically imagine reddit, but where all subreddits were their own thing.
