    Culturally it trends towards the Democratic Party style of talking a big game about progressivism and then being functionally conservative, but the admins are borderline Thatcherite in their rhetoric.

    The very first sentence: “Beehaw is a community of individuals and therefore does not have any specific political affiliation.”

    After acknowledging the first part I said, it continues:

    “What we stand for and the space that we’re trying to make is compatible with many forms of politics. Unfortunately some political groups build themselves around and choose to elevate or tolerate hate speech. These are the only political groups that we are incompatible with.”

    "Some of the instances that we have chosen to defederate with have explicit political stances and ideologies. Their political stance and ideology had nothing to do with the choice to defederate. The choice to defederate was based on the amount of hate speech present on the instance and/or explicitly endorsing it. "
