Beehaw dominates my feeds by having many of the most popular groups and posts. And yet, I can’t participate in a single one, despite having two accounts on two of the other major instances. Neither are accepted there.
Fine! I’ll make a Beehaw too so I can, you know, actually participate.
But no I have to apply? And I have to give reasons of why I should be let in? The fuck?
Well my application was rejected, I guess for being to vague on what I was joining for? I’m joining for a variety of communities and uses, as I’m sure most users are, so wtf kind of questions are those anyway.
Use a god damn captcha and let people fucking have accounts and use the fucking platform.
Beehawk has been a small and tightly knit community for years now, not just by sheer luck, but by extreme moderation… Even before this whole reddit fiasco when Lemmy was pretty much dead comparatively, you had to apply to be allowed on their server, which is completely fine, they make the rules…
Use a god damn captcha and let people fucking have accounts and use the fucking platform.
This isn’t reddit and people need to really really start to understand that… Lemmy isn’t a commodity, it is not a business. You have 0 right to use ANY lemmy server that you don’t pay for yourself, so please stop with this entitled attitude…
Ideally Lemmy wouldn’t show you content that you can’t interact with. Mastodon has that so it’s possible, might take a feature request in the Lemmy software itself.
