I remember watching this project as it was getting started. It was a replacement to all those PHP forums, like PHPBB & Simple Machines BB. This claimed to have more modern features. It's also open-source, and you can self-host or pay them for hosting. (I recommend the latter)

And since we're on the subject, has Beehaw considered using an old PHP forum, like I mentioned earlier? They're really basic and quite nice, IMHO.

Yes, I see the tension has become worse. I just found and read this beehaw document on the matter.

For what it's worth, I want to continue to be a part of Beehaw. I really appreciate the value that they stand for.

I created this alternate account and stopped using my Beehaw account because it seemed like they're departure from Lemmy was imminent. Today, it seems they're departure is still on the horizon, but not anytime soon. I guess one can only watch and see.
