There are different opinions on Beehaw’s registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it’s very practical, at least for the time being.

Btw, this is only my opinion as a new user, I don’t know any of the admins/mods. Link to my original comment.

    They asked what I thought I could add to the community and I wrote something about sports and apparently they aren’t interested in that so they denied me.

      How long ago did you apply? I thought I got denied the first time I applied, as my first application was relatively short, but much to my surprise I got accepted several days later. It might be possible your application was unfortunately overlooked as the admins have to look at hundreds of apps per day.

        I applied like twice. Wrote the same thing in phrasing though. I applied I think the day before the blackout first (no response) and then about like 4 days ago and got a message yesterday that I was denied and I could try to apply again another time. This first time I applied I maybe have referenced that I was fleeing reddit so maybe they didn’t like me talking about it (though I’m sure it’s true od like 90 percent of their users).

        I suppose it’s possible the denial i got was just a really late reply to my first attempt.

        Yes. They didn’t personally ask me. It’s just one of the intake questions questions.

        Maybe they just wanted to go in depth? No clue

      Ya that place has huge dog-walking reddit mod energy. I couldn’t possibly care less what their instance is doing.
