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