in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.

since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?

Let's stick to facts, OK? They claimed defederating from lemmy.world and such was a temporary measure because of the lack of moderation tools and because LW allows anyone to sign up, opening the flood gates for bots, and those sites would of course be unbanned when changes were made. Changes were made. LW and others are still banned. BH were lying from the beginning. Good riddance.
