Yes and they allow you to create communities so it does look promising!

Political discussion is crucial for the success of this platform. I hope it is just an outlier and they can address this. Perfectly valid concerns.

Nobody should be banned for expressing political beliefs. I prefer a platform that allows people to have some freedom over reddit. Though if that were true I'd be happy to move my ass over to another instance.

I did like the look of beehaw but I noticed you can't create your own communities which I'm a little sad about.
