I liked the idea of Beehaw, but it ended up being rather like an HOA. You weren’t allowed to ever disagree, no matter how gently, because it “wasn’t nice.” They ironically tried to reduce bullying by bullying people.

Ended up with a bunch of Karens policing each other, so I think that’s a win for all.

It’s already an echo chamber. That’s just how human interaction is. People aren’t going to share unpopular opinions just to be argued with and downvoted. It’s not worth it.

Take the recent question about religion. No way am I going to answer that, because I’m not atheist and I know how non-atheists are treated online.
