Beehaw isn’t the only instance of Lemmy, nor the only instance in the Fediverse. Sure, the feature being added to Lemmy now, won’t benefit Beehaw. But it would still benefit others. Refusing to work on the features that Beehaw wants out of spite, will definitely hurt other instances too.
Beehaw isn’t updating their Lemmy install anyway, so it’s not like adding new features for Beehaw users would solve anything.

Not my circus, not my monkeys
The comment I’m responding directly references beehawists.
Of course others will benefit, but specifically for beehaw this isn’t very relevant.
