      I wrote 2 short paragraphs for the Beehaw entry and a week later was denied. By that point I was already on Lemmy.World.

      I really don’t know what else they wanted me to say to be honest. I’d be interested in seeing some accepted applications but seems excessive.

          Same for me. The only thing beehaw now has that interests me is the technology community, which seems fairly active. Other than that it died for me there. For what? Because they couldn’t deal with a few trolls? And they want their own walled garden for site applications?

        In contrast, I wrote two lines basically saying “like your vibe and the growth of your community” and was approved within a few hours maybe less.

          This is more or less what i said in my purity test to them and got rejected. They should figure their shit out before beehaw crashes and burns.

      Exactly! Or a waitlist like lemmy.ml. There’s probably going to be some issues with so many people in this instance, but it’s better than an echo chamber.

        I’m on my secondary account because of some 0.17.4 vs mobile app compatibility issues, but my accepted application read “I like your moderation philosophy”

        That was it.

        That was all I wrote.

        Bitter about what? Beehaw is literally running a purity test in order to let you sign up. You sound much more bitter for me telling the truth than i am.
