Beehaw Support

I do not like they have defederated from 2 of the larger instances. Not a fan of that at all. I do understand why they did it, just personally not a fan. I’m on kbin until they get that under control and re-federate the I’ll likely look into joining them.

I like the instance, like the sign up process, just don’t want to be defederated. Hopefully the modding tools get better soon.

it didn’t bother me at all. The questions where simply, it took me maybe 2 minutes, and I was accepted pretty quickly.

Very sad, there's a Deltarune on that instance. i want to sub it but.... yeah...... 😔

In some sense the ends justify the means here, I think. There was no way of really knowing when they created this process whether it would work, but here we are. It seems to me the community is quite tolerant and generally on the same page, so I would say it works well enough.

I think it’s a good idea. I have no problem doing this for these instances. It’s to protect the community. If it were Facebook, then I’d not do it because I know they are selling my information.

It wasn’t bad, but in my opinion they need to figure out how to make the process a tad faster. Took them two days for mine. Granted, I know it’s a small operation so I get it, but based on their documentation I figured something went wrong and so I attempted to submit a second registration (which hopefully didn’t go through since I also had an issue where the submit button for both login and registration would spin endlessly).

Growing pains is all it probably is.

I personally don't find it a problem but I think it may lose a lot of users who are simply too impatient to fill out the questionnaire and then wait to see if they were approved.

I do wonder how effective it will be at stopping trolls. If anything it may make Beehaw a troll target as Lemmy grows. Its easy enough to make an account and list some things from the Beehaw's principles.

I think it's good.

There were rules to read? Can I leave my shirt off?

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.

I only saw one question - guess I got lucky! I thought about providing a link to my reddit user page so they could verify that I wasn't generally a jerk, but then that would give reddit clicks. It also seemed like turning the application work around on the mods, which I assume they have too much of at the present time, so I didn't.

I've only had one text field / question, but they took over a week to come back to me for approval. Obviously made a kbin account in the meantime already and am happy with that. Maybe I'll use the account if I give Jerboa another try. The last time I tried the app it crashed 5 times just reading the Reddit refugee welcome message. Definitely not the best first impressions given.

I applied, but not sure it went through, never got beyond the spinny-submit-button. Happened a few times then found another instance :)

*edit- But I did like that they were screening applicants.
