There are different opinions on Beehaw's registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it's very practical, at least for the time being.
Btw, this is only my opinion as a new user, I don't know any of the admins/mods. Link to my original comment.

Pretty much that. They're not even hard questions to answer, you could even lie. But, the day or two wait period and general approval process means you weed out a lot of the undesirables who are looking for a quick way to upset and bully people. It's a good thing.
I answered honestly, and I think it was probably about five sentences. I’m definitely not a robot or a bully, and they still denied me. maybe it’s because I brought up developing a sports community.
no there's a sports community here, it might be that users aren't allowed to create new communities though
Will just mention that the waiting time is not intentional. We just didn't have a deny system and that's been messing with the queue. I sincerely hope we could pass everyone within 6 hours.
Even so, any sort of wait tends to weed out the folks who want to troll, so it's good!
