Can other instances “back it up” so that the posts submitted to the instances aren’t lost?

    Nah, Beehaw just had only 4 admins for the entire website and enforced pretty strong hugbox rules, so they quickly got overwhelmed by the larger instances and defederated.

      hugbox (slang, derogatory) An environment or thing which validates or reinforces a limited set of feelings or ideas.

      First time I’ve seen that term used, and it’s a great way to describe what websites like beehaw are haha. They’re free to moderate their community as they see fit, just saying that’s an accurate way to describe their community values.
