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.

    I honestly have not tried to sign up for beehaw so I can’t comment on the registration process itself in detail, but I do find that they’re intentionally trying to be picky a little strange. It seems to me that beehaw is trying to build a community that isn’t actually all that well suited for a federated setup.

    if federation can’t accommodate the idea of a curated community then that is a huge failing and limitation of the concept. federation should not mean “get fucked if you want to build something that isn’t open season”, it should mean “build a community to your taste, but still have the ability to connect to places which aren’t your own community effortlessly”
