It seems like any comments that don't fit the culture they want are seen as a reason to defederate.

This is the main reason I didn't create my account there. I like reading discussions in political topics, and beehaw seems to have a heavy aversion to that.

It's that hypocritical stance of refusing to be political/choose a side yet not realizing that is also inherently political. Time will tell if their users are fine in a moated community or if it seriously hampers its growth to devolving into an echo chamber

Hard agree on this. And oftentimes being in the "I'm apolitical" camp only favors the opressing side. Nothing in human society can be fully unbiased or 100% neutral
