In the past few weeks I feel like I’ve seen a lot more conservative comments being posted on Beehaw. Where before it seemed like occasionally some dazed right-winger would wander through now and then, it now seems a bit more like they specifically show up to any thread that brushes up against one of their pet issues.
The most recent example I’ve noticed is around the stuff with the Ladybird devs being weird about being asked to use inclusive pronouns, but it seems like a pattern.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any thoughts on a course of action other than blocking them all individually or reporting particularly grievous examples?
I really would be disappointed to see every single thread here slowly inundated with pettiness and hate.
Yeah I just blocked the free and open source software page because of the type of conversations they are having and the amount of people “dunking” on boogeymans like SJWs and “wokeness”. Yuck.
I don’t like the idea of blocking a Beehaw community, especially one I actually use, but honestly I might do the same if it keeps up. It’s a bummer.
I agree, it is unfortunate it came to that. I really wanted to keep that community in my feed because there is a lot of content worth checking out from there. Ultimately I operate on a 3 strikes policy, and they crossed it so out they go.
