All of these services are very new. Exactly what people want out of them — including what the people operating instances want out of them — is still being worked out.
This is not a commercial production service that you have a contract with. It's an experimental system run by volunteers who don't all have the same ideas in mind. People aren't just working out the kinks — the process of discovering what this is all really for is still ongoing.
Expect friction. Expect weirdness. Expect rapid growth and, therefore, rapid change.
Also, expect people to fuss when they get surprised they can't do something they want to. That's also normal.
To clarify a minor point, beehaw isn't new. It was established in Feb 2022, and it's been thriving with a relatively small community up until this months crazy growth. They're not so much finding their feet as trying to maintain an existing communities safety in the face of rapid growth.
Good point!
(Folks should still expect change, and be patient with the people running this stuff.)
