The overall Lemmy stats haven’t changed as dramatically, but there has been an uptick in active users.

    Beehaw uses the same software, which rubs some people the wrong way.

    That said, it seems better to use open-source software developed by someone with unpleasant political leanings than to use a proprietary platform operated by someone with unpleasant political leanings who actually bans people based on them.

      Yep, and the fact that Lemmy is open-source means that an instance like Beehaw can always fork it if needed.

      But thankfully they do a fairly good job of at least giving other people a place to avoid. Even on lemmy.ml itself they’re really not bad, despite technically having a lot of overlap. It’s like how you don’t go on certain boards on 4chan.
