I have three Lemmy accounts, but I’ve started considering this one my home server.
I feel like the admins of this server are very invested in making this a good, friendly community. The culture at Beehaw is pretty consistently amicable and helpful, even when people have differences or need to vent.
It’s also been pretty reliable with little downtime, and we have the cutest server-themed art to greet us even when things are temporarily offline.
I feel sometimes like I’m the meanest person here, because everyone is so nice. I’d go so far to say it makes me want to be a better person.
I’ve left so many online spaces because a lot of them turn out to be bad for me, but Beehaw is great. So buzz, buzz, buzz everyone, and thanks to the people who keep this place running!
Same here. I tried a few different instances but Beehaw hits different and has come to feel like home.
Lemmy is where I go for lulz. Beehaw is where I go for community.
I give you the coveted Double Thumbs Up

Internet hugs to you, friend!!
Your father smelt of elderberries.
Yes. I am the meanest person on this server.
I mean, you didn’t have to utterly destroy me like that
I don’t want to talk to you no more, you silly Beehaw kuniget.
Today in a restaurant’s restrooms, there was a Winnie the Pooh decoration with a bee and pot of honey. It said, “Bee happy. Bee you.” And my mind added, “Bee-hawesome.”
Cringe alien mascot = Link no

Totally agree with you, both admins and users have made this such a great little space to have friendly conversation.
It’s an excellent proof of concept that with the right moderation and community mindset, it is possible to have an online space to discuss conflicting opinions without being dickheads. With how a lot of big social media feeds on toxicity and antagonism for the sake of engagement, it seemed like this kind of place couldn’t exist online. Beehaw sure proves this wrong, thanks to the tireless work of mods to banish trolls and the generally compassionate and empathetic attitude of users.
Weeks ago there seemed to be an issue with posts not loading for the first minute of every hour, but it appears to be resolved by now. That’s just to say that in general it’s been solid but there have been patches of instability, like most any Lemmy server.
Just passing by, but also wanted to appreciate all the mods working, beehaw and others. I used to moderate a small forum years ago and I can feel the stress just by scrolling through the modlog.
