lemmy.world is probably leading because it’s easy to sign up
I mean, i would rather have an easy sign up then go through a shitty purity test like beehaw.org makes you go through.
I wrote 2 short paragraphs for the Beehaw entry and a week later was denied. By that point I was already on Lemmy.World.
I really don't know what else they wanted me to say to be honest. I'd be interested in seeing some accepted applications but seems excessive.
The very same thing happened to me. It's amazing to me how fast Lemmy.world has grown in the few weeks I've been here!
Same for me. The only thing beehaw now has that interests me is the technology community, which seems fairly active. Other than that it died for me there. For what? Because they couldn't deal with a few trolls? And they want their own walled garden for site applications?
Nah I wouldn't judge man, they got their old school values, and from what I've seen they care about upholding those ideals and I'm cool with that.
I have no problem with that but it is still a purity test and it is a random ass purity test at that, just let people join. The community is still small enough that you can easily weed out the bad apples.
In contrast, I wrote two lines basically saying "like your vibe and the growth of your community" and was approved within a few hours maybe less.
This is more or less what i said in my purity test to them and got rejected. They should figure their shit out before beehaw crashes and burns.
