Its incredibly difficult to join beehaw without knowing what its about. When you apply to join they explain what it is and ensure that you're actually, like, on board with the mission. I can understand the sentiment of users finding themselves underwhelmed and leaving if they don't understand why.

As someone with accounts on other instances, I've definitely encountered far more bigotry and bad faith arguments off-beehaw than on-beehaw. For some people, which would appear to include you, encountering the asshole and blocking and moving on is sufficient, and that's fine and awesome for them. But for others who may be part of marginalised communities or particularly vulnerable, the bubble of safety and curation that beehaw offers is so tremendously valuable.

Ok, sounds like they've made it a lot more clear since the reddit exodos which is the last time I've had any interaction with beehaw. That's good then.
