Beehaw defederated last night
I know. I'm trying to sign up there again with a new account. The lack of negativity is a better fit for me.
They are probably wary of newcomers because of trolling and toxicity. Not saying you are that, but maybe give it a few days or weeks for things to settle down and try again.
I got the same thing when trying to sign up there when both .world and .beehaw had less than 1.5k total users. The only reason I'm here is bc .world showed "accepted" when I tried to sign up and it was approved a few hours later. I was here before the acceptance was automated and when there was a "why do you want to join" prompt with less verbosity than beehaw's.
It probably has to do with a VPN I can't/won't turn off or me blocking big tech tracking junk like capacha.
I'm sorry, what does that mean?
I'm still seeing new beehaw.org posts show up on my feed under New, so lemmy.world is at least still able to pull new posts for those communities. I'm still pending subscription for several of them on beehaw, though.
It means you can see their posts and make comments but they won't see them. They can see stuff here, and they can comment and you won't see their comments. It means no one can troll them and they don't have to waste time with negativity coming from other instances that host such people in large numbers.
Thank you for explaining kind internet stranger
