Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
I thought Beehaw defederated from everyone else during the first mass reddit migration in 2023. It's not surprising not a lot of people know about them.
Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.
I knew of Beehaw, but they got left off mostly because last I heard they were extremely selective on who they federated with.
My personal opinion of Beehaw is, I have none unlike The Tankie Triad where i've experienced and seen the games they play. Then again, I think BH does fed with them, so if they're so selective to do that...
And yet, on other Lemmy instances like world, people will fight to the bitter end defending Joe Biden's policy of enabling Israel. And if you dare suggest Kamala Harris was also going to keep supporting Israel, you'll be crucified lmao.
I guess genocide is okay if it's backed by a Western power (but only if a democrat is in charge).
I personally have seen nobody defending Biden's enabling of Israel, I have seen a bunch of people choosing the lesser of two evils and getting chastised over it as if there was a magical third option (abstaining just enables trump stfu)
Nah, fuck Biden's and Harris's handling of the situation. It was a disaster and needs to be called what it is.
But I think what you are suggesting is a disingenuous interpretation of what most people were saying during the US election. No one was suggesting that Biden/Harris were good for Palestine. Only that Trump would be much, much worse. And I feel like the events of the past few weeks have validated that fear, however horrifying that is to type out.
You're not looking forward to a beachfront vacation, sleeping over the skeletons of dead little kids that we all helped pay to murder? What's wrong with you?
