Beehaw almost reminds of Tildes in that regard. They want to be their own safe, insular community. That's totally fine, but the fact that at first Beehaw seemed to want to grow and be a big part of the community before abruptly changing their mind is the frustrating part.

If they weren't one of the largest instances OR if they were just that way from the beginning it would have been much more understandable and less frustrating.

I was super into their philosophy at the beginning, but this abrupt change is disappointing.
