A lot of the people who have been around on Lemmy before the influx are socialists. Some of them are obnoxious, but many Beehaw users went over to that instance rather than confronting viewpoints they disagree with, and also defederating with a good handful of instances (not sure if that was restored).
Some feel that it has given the instance a very "Reddity" sort of tone, but that's true across pretty much all of the instances to varying extents.
When people think of the "devs are 'tankies'" discussion that's been ongoing (who cares about their politics, cause the Reddit admins have far worse politics without catching so much heat?), Beehaw is the first instance that comes to mind, I think.
