Beehaw uses the same software, which rubs some people the wrong way.
That said, it seems better to use open-source software developed by someone with unpleasant political leanings than to use a proprietary platform operated by someone with unpleasant political leanings who actually bans people based on them.
Yep, and the fact that Lemmy is open-source means that an instance like Beehaw can always fork it if needed.
But thankfully they do a fairly good job of at least giving other people a place to avoid. Even on lemmy.ml itself they're really not bad, despite technically having a lot of overlap. It's like how you don't go on certain boards on 4chan.
