Beehaw was actually my first threadiverse instance. It didn’t become my main, because you all are way too over the top. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that in a bad way, just that I needed a bit of chaos in my life and this instance is like cotton wool. When I left, it was so that I could partake in football discussions and life outside of this instance took a minute to adjust to. However there was one thing I took away from my experience, it’s that this instance was full of good, compassionate people. So it’s no wonder that despite my two major stints on other instances (shout-out to lemmy.tf and lazysoci.al), I always made sure I was active here. Even with this particular community. If something is super technical, I tend to take it to programming.dev, otherwise I come here because I want to have more humanist discussions about things and how they impact people and I love that. I’m glad to see that you’re all doubling down on that.
Off-topic, I think you’re doing the beehaw community a disservice by not updating the instance. I know you’re waiting on SubLinks, but who knows when that will be ready, in the meantime, Lemmy has added some very good and very useful things that improve the quality of life of users, admins and moderators.
