Except there are many users who get banned by the Beehaw admins because they dared disagree with the admins. Beehaw’s adminstration has an extensive history of this sort of behaviour, silencing any critics they can.
Well before the reddit blackout wave, they literally had a “no sources” rule because users kept questioning the mods. Likewise their current “rule set” states what they say, goes, and that everything is up to them, not the rules. They say that with all cases (except obvious trolls), they will always warn first. I have yet to ever see any kind of warning from any of their admins.
Truth is they were being questioned on sh.it and on lemmy.world, so they blocked both. You can check their modlog to see just how little spam they have to deal with. Instead they spend most of their time on discord.
I was a victim of their abuse – I personally got banned because I got into an argument with the admin there. They wrongly assumed that I was American and made a claim to counter my argument. I then pointed out their mistake that their claim doesn’t apply to my country, and then – Boom, banned, no appeal, no warning, nothing.
I think my “progressive ideals” point covers what you’re saying. Progressivism on the internet has a lot of positive ideas but a lot of authoritarian enforcement if you don’t agree all of the time.
