All I put was "I like bees and to yeehaw proudly". Its probably just a way to filter out bot accounts.

Ok now I'm embarrassed about how strongly I pitched myself to get on lemmy.ml. I was like overcaffeinated on the first five minutes of a blind date!

You mean I didn't have to type out the entire script to Bee Movie?

Lol people treating it like a cover letter hahahah! For the instances I joined I just said one or two sentences of what I wanted out of it.

All I said was that I was a Reddit refugee and why I use this name seemed to work fine for me

I think things have tightened up a lot over there in the last 5 or so days. I don't even remember what I put (definitely nothing more substantial than yours) and I have an account over there of similar to age. People who have tried to sign up more recently have mentioned being rejected after multiple serious looking responses.

I put a serious response and was snubbed. Only put a sentence or two so maybe they were looking for something more.

What? I'm high as shit and dont know if that is supposed to make sense

Yeah I got in by saying it was a funny name and I hated reddit. But I got here early. I understand why things have tightened.
