They defederated from dozens of instances actually
Obviously censorship of any variety is a slippery slope, but holy hell some of what's listed there is problematic. If I joined Beehaw in the hopes of enjoying a safe community for various minority groups like they are trying to promote, I'd feel decidedly un-safe seeing posts from skinhead instances and others with outright racial slurs in the names.
What is the skinhead one? It said it was pro lgbt?
I decided to check on the skinhead one, because maybe it's not nazis, but....it's nazis.
i figured it was. i guess they just post that to lure people in or something.
