I can't speak for other instances, but Beehaw requires a convincing explanation of why you feel that you are right for Beehaw and Beehaw is right for you.

"convincing" is a stretch. I wrote like 2 fluff lines about nothing and they approved the account.
It's kind of silly to think that a bunch of trolls couldn't do the same and join the site very easily. They're essentially trusting their users to pinky promise to tel the truth on the application lol.

Even this requirement is enough to deter what I imagine is the vast amount of trolls. If people act up after being approved, they get banned.

Huh, interesting. Kbin.social just required an email confirmation.

So they're manually approving each user at beehaw then? That explains why their communities seemed small. They're managing ongoing mod work by having a much higher initial workload. Neat!
