why not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?
My understanding from the announcement post was because those are two large instances with open registration, and they want to be able to better vet new users to make sure they're not trolls
Lol, they were the first instance I tried to sign up for since they are large and loud. They interrogate you in order to make an account. "Why do you want to make an account on Beehaw?" Um, because I'm addicted to link aggregators and tired of Reddit? Does it fucking matter?
It matters to them, so I guess you are not the type of user they want. It's annoying, but if they want their server to be more exclusive, they can do that. It is the beauty and the pain of federation.
Safe space locks doors is how I read this whole thing.
