Isn't a lot of Beehaws complaints the lack of moderation on other instances, not specifically their own?

If they're struggling with managing their own content, they certainly shouldn't have to worry about content from other instances. Any instance that hasn't managed to sort out their own moderation should be defederated until they figure it out.

Every individual community inside each instance should have its own set of moderators or it should not exist.

Thank you for pointing this out. Almost all of the complaints I've seen are coming from the instances that were defederated rather than from within the Beehaw community. You can verify this yourself by reading the comments on their discussion threads about the matter. It's almost like the users of Beehaw agree with the decision otherwise they would have left for another instance.

Reddit admins made a unilateral decision a bunch of us didn't like and now we're all here on Lemmy.

Why are people acting like Lemmy instances are any different?
