We're a collective of individuals upset with the way social media has been traditionally governed. A severe lack of moderation has led to major platforms like Facebook to turn into political machinery focused on disinformation campaigns as a way to make profit off of users. Websites with ineffective moderation allow hate speech to proliferate and contribute to the erosion of minority rights and safe spaces. Our goal with Beehaw is to demonstrate and promote a healthier environment.

Our philosophy:

Be(e) nice.

As a news aggregator and a social media outlet, with a focus on being a safe and accepting space, we strive to create a positive social impact. We will, also, help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.

We currently have a Mastodon account you can follow for major updates: @beehaw at hachyderm.io. You can also join our community Discord or Matrix servers. You can also view our status page.

Our instance is 100% user-funded - help us keep it running by donating.

If you donate, you should know that 100% of the costs will go towards server time, licensing costs, and artwork.

In the future if we need to hire developers or other labor, it would be sourced through the Open Collective Europe Foundation, and it would be transparent to the community before any changes were made.

New Lemmy instance for garden: The Garden, a place where all are welcome to grow their roots (thegarden.land)
 
 

There's a new Lemmy instance for all things gardening! Since the obvious shuttering of /r/gardening, I figured folks interested in gardening would appreciate an instance tailored to that interest. Perhaps communities on there could be created for specific types of gardening (food, flowers, etc.), or location.

The popular instances like lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have also, understandably, been getting hammered in the last couple of days, so any new instance that can share the load for Reddit expats would be good, right?

(I just posted this over on the environment community and right after I did that, I saw this gardening one, sorry for the spam--still trying to learn and adjust to Lemmy overall and how things work)

(I looked around and wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, so I hope this is alright here. Not trying to be spammy at all, but community/instance discovery isn't exactly Lemmy's strong suit at the moment. I'm not the admin of the instance, but I am subscribed and would love to see this instance...grow, heh)
