Why does signing up for beehaw not work? (Solved) (self.asklemmy)

I just get the wheel to nowhere every time I try. Is anyone able to DM me a contact or something I can use to get through?

Edit: I figured it out. They have a DNS redirect in the login submission that I had to approve in my firewall to submit. This isn't present in .world's submission.

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.
