Most of Beehaw’s blocks are “generic ActivityPub assholes”, which, before the Reddit migration, was really just the worst of the worst of Mastodon, Pleroma, Soapbox, and Miss/Calc/???Key instances, with the occasional PeerTube thrown in.
They likely just imported one of the common blocklists and moved on with their lives, which really should be “how to secure your community 101” but most Lemmy admins haven’t seem to have gotten the memo yet.
I’m patiently waiting for the day those assholes realize most of Lemmy is open ground for them to shit in, boy that’s gonna be a fun few days.
IIRC Lemmy doesn’t have a way of importing blocklists directly, so you’ll either have to whip up a quick script to do so or manually add things by hand, which is tedious and you will give up.
The platform allows for people to curate their instances into smaller communities if that is what they are after. They found the platform and for some reason people are mad at them for doing it. Their goal is to create a small safe and welcoming place. To do so they will inherently have a smaller community and that’s okay.

Got a suggested blocklist handy?
https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists. Feel free to pick a tier depending on the community you’re building. Tier0 is basically “the bare minimum” but you may want the others depending on the community you’re building up.

I think Beehaw have a fine idea.
I think they picked the wrong platform for it.
They split from tildes.net originally.
There is no reason why they can’t defederate from everyone when they build their community. The people that dont like it will just move away.
The sore spot is that people thought it was breaking Lemmy for a week. You can’t even tell now.
