The problem with "safe spaces", as the beehaw defed post indicated that they wanted to be, is that it can rapidly turn into an echo chamber where opposing but legitimate viewpoints are removed. For this reason I like the fediverse, and wish beehaw good luck.
I think there is a role for "echo chambers". Sometimes it's good to have a common baseline of understanding assumed, because you can go into more depth in your perspective without having to rehash the basics.
Like we are in an echo chamber here in that we are all kind of pro-fediverse. If this thread was full of people being like "well this sucks compared to instagram" etc, it would be less productive.
