That said I suspect this response comes from the recent federation poll where it sounded like a lot of people wanted to federate back into the larger instances again. Beehaw doesn’t have the mod team to really do that and in some ways it’s counter to keeping the space nice since those instances aren’t moderate with being nice as a priority.
we’re working on coding the results and i’ll just say that no, this was neither prompted by the survey nor are its results informing what’s being talked about here.
