The thing that makes this notable is that those beehaw communities were the largest and therefore defacto defaults.

Yeah, I do appreciate what they were trying, but making communities with the purpose of being popular default ones and then giving up as soon as the site starts to grow is not great.

Yeah, that's a good point. Like "oh, no, we made popular communities and now we have too many people". Like, idk what they expected.
