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.
Honestly, if you aren't prepared to fill out a simple text box to join the instance, I'd prefer you went somewhere else.
Right? If you can’t come up with a minimal answer to a very simple question, how could you possibly contribute positively in any way whatsoever here? And why would you even want to join this instance? This isn’t meant to be a shitposting low effort instance…
I actually really liked it as an exercise in reflection.
I probably wrote too much in mine, a good full paragraph for each. They really just need to create the slightest barrier to entry to make moderating 10x easier.
I've been through a bit of an emotionally exhausting week with some personal things...
I suspect some of that might have come through on my mini essay ... uh... sorry to whoever had to read it?
But hey I'm here so....
I just want to feel something. Even the pain of a thousand Cowbee stings. Anything. Let me in. Hurt me.
They need to add a word limit though, I think I went a bit overboard lol
Or if you're just going to lurk... you don't need to make an account at all! As I did for the first week before deciding on whether or not to join, lmao
