Beehaw is known for being way too heavy handed in moderation, though it hasn’t been too much of a problem because they decided to defederate from the large instances, which really killed the majority of the network effect they originally had in the fediverse.
Honestly I’d just recommend staying away from them, they’re not a bad instance but you will encounter and deal with a lot of petty shit like this in their communities.
I’ve never had a problem with Beehaw users, it’s not like with Hexbear where people there are assholes who will attack you. Their only issue is the heavy-handed moderation, though my experience with Beehaw users has been few and far between, and that’s not a coincidence, but rather a negative side effect of that heavy handed moderation, since Beehaw has defederated from the largest communities and over-zealously bans users from the instance. Which has the effect of isolating their community, and their users.
From what I remember a lot of people who were joining Beehaw in the earlier days of Lemmy ended up switching to lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, or lemm.ee because they were missing out on all the content.

Talking to beehaw users on communities in other instances is almost always nice in my experience.
