The second factor is the Beehaw admins have multiple huge posts about building a community. With the lack of concrete rules and the huge change defederation causes, it would have been more in line with their ethos to put up a poll for users or discussion thread before defederating to get community input.

Is there an easy way to poll people in an instance on Lemmy?

Finally in the post regarding the defederation, anybody who voiced opposition or even skepticism of defederation was painted as part of the problem. A pattern with Beehaw admins I’ve noticed is that when people ask specifics on how they will apply being nice and post examples of contentious arguments that might happen, the admins say that even asking the question is a “self report” sign of not being a suitable member of the community.

I missed that part
