Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Totally agree with you, both admins and users have made this such a great little space to have friendly conversation.
It's an excellent proof of concept that with the right moderation and community mindset, it is possible to have an online space to discuss conflicting opinions without being dickheads. With how a lot of big social media feeds on toxicity and antagonism for the sake of engagement, it seemed like this kind of place couldn't exist online. Beehaw sure proves this wrong, thanks to the tireless work of mods to banish trolls and the generally compassionate and empathetic attitude of users.
Weeks ago there seemed to be an issue with posts not loading for the first minute of every hour, but it appears to be resolved by now. That's just to say that in general it's been solid but there have been patches of instability, like most any Lemmy server.
