while another mod said that @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml is funded by the NED.
What is the NED? I have no idea, but Google suggests that could be The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an independent, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world.

Why does the comment look different when I view it here https://beehaw.org/post/616312 vs here https://lemmy.ml/post/1329260
There's the obvious formatting differences. As for posters being different on each, it's because Beehaw individually bans people from Lemmy when they don't like them politically. These users will show up on the Lemmy instance but won't show up on the Beehaw instance.
it's not just formatting, there's more content in one than in the other
maybe the edits didn't carry across?
An edit from 3 days carried over, just not the later edit. Looks like this is a known issue (reported 6 days ago).
