Whole post is dogshit, but Lemmygrad is the only sizeable instance blocked on beehaw, so I can't help but assume this is mostly addressed about us:

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

Our admins ban all bigotry, and are extremely quick to ban them, so this is complete bullshit. In addition per @CriticalResist8 , they originally claimed that they blocked us because we were too active and filling up their disk space (spoiler: they were just incompetent, it was just log files they weren't deleting). I hate these smug, weaselly little liars dude :hasan-smash:

Also, the comments complaining about the lemmy devs again. Please, I beg you, switch to kbin you fucking losers. The devs never should have helped your bum asses out. They offer free hosting, put your server in reccomended (and in fact were only 1 of 2 in the recommended section for a long time!), basically bend over backwards to accommodate you and all you can think of is "muh evil tankies"

    to be absolutely fair to beehaw, they don't claim to be free speech absolutists. In all honesty, you could argue that lemmygrad does violate their whole philosophy of "being nice". We aren't always going to be nice, especially when some hapless liberal starts spewing racism or anticommunism. But that's not what is written here. They're accusing us of hate speech, not "being mean"

      They literally think it’s the same thing:

      Beehaw does not tolerate hate speech. Beehaw is an explicitly safe space. We center and promote kindness because that is what we see and love in the world.

      Their idea of safe spaces is not able to account for existing power dynamics if they insist on civility above all else. It’s literally not a safe space. But it is a space that the privileged leadership can label as safe for the sake of their own affirmation.
