I didn't like the sound of things over on Beehaw personally, and Lemmy.world didn't exist yet, so I ended up on Kbin. Some people probably didn't look into Beehaw before joining, but others probably liked the kind of community they're trying to build over there and support this change. Thankfully, we're super early in all this, so anyone who doesn't like the Beehaw's direction won't lose much switching to a different instance, and there are alternatives to Beehaw's communities on other instances. As things start to fall into place a bit more (and Beehaw gats more moderators for their many users), hopefully they'll allow connection again.
