Hey everyone
We recently discovered that the end-user experience around denied applications is a bit confusing and perhaps in need of some work. As best as we can tell, if we deny an application there is no notification nor a reason displayed to the person who’s been denied. We don’t want this experience happening to anyone we deny (it’s not particularly nice to ghost people!) and we expect that many of the denied applications are great people who are just in a hurry and not writing enough for us to assess if they’re a fit for our ethos, so we wanted to make this post for anyone who tried to register and is confused about what happened or anyone still yet to register.
When registering, please answer the questions in full as it helps us to understand if you’d be a good fit here. We created a post in lemmy support to get some clarification on this issue, but we’re not sure how long it will take to resolve or what changes we may need to do to our process.
i didn’t fully understand that there was an application system, do you mean the “why beehaw” question on the sign-up page? 👀
i didn’t add an email either but i feel like i missed some steps cause there wasn’t exactly a questionnaire. i just pressed sign up, went to the bathroom, then signed in and it was all good.
Yes this is referring to the questions asked when signing up. Because we’ve grown a lot in the last few days we’re now being more selective on who we approve to ensure people are in tune with our ethos. This means we revised the questions and are looking more closely at how people are responding.
