I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn’t look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I’m drawing is that for my purposes it doesn’t really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

    You’ll miss out on the Beehaw community

    Beehaw seems completetly dead to me, there’s only ever a handful of comments on posts.

      They still have a little over 300 Monthly active users, which puts it in line with my own instance. So not huge, but certainly not dead.

        Yeah they’re way too extreme up to the point of walking on eggshells around them. Personally I never participated there but from what I’ve seen they go way too harsh. I think their intentions are good but they still need to loosen up a bit, okay a lot.

        Though in a way it’s good because it means they broke the early network effect they had in their communities by cutting off lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
