My feelings about beehaw as a community changed today, which is why I’m leaving.

Typical corporate lawyer speak.

Yeah, specifically threads/posts though, I mean. Since if you don’t up- or downvote them, they persist forever.

Support communities made the right call, IMO, by staying open.

Mental health crisis doesn’t wait.

I do wish there was another way to hide posts. I don’t want to upvote everything.

They are Tankies, it’s not potential. Just look at their profiles on Lemmy.ml
