    im sure you can find more info on beehaw, but really they just wanted to avoid a metric tonne of negative influencing (political or otherwise) and drama.

        that is a great question.

        part of what pushed me into running a public instance was their closed stance. i appreciated their genial camaraderie, but i dont like being closed off.

          It’s interesting how the most open instances aren’t the biggest ones with no user restrictions, but the smaller instances that no one has issues with. I moved away from LW because of performance issues, but I’m happy to be able to see both LW posts and BH posts. Sopuli has defederated from some instances, but I’m happy with their choices so it’s as unrestricted as I want it to be. Others would choose an even less restrictive/restricted small instance, or like yourself just run your own to have complete freedom.
