      check out their modlog. they have way too many unnecesary bans or post removals. wasting energy instead of focusing on the real trolls.

        How do I filter modlog to only show logs from given instance? I’ve entered modlog that is available at bottom of page on beehaw and also different instance and the modlog is quite similar with some beehaw entries not showing up on other and vice versa.

        I assume the modlog is combined from all federated instances, so I can’t really tell what actions are made by beehaw unless it references community belonging to beehaw.

      Beehaw was almost responsible for me not joining this service at all, got frustrated when I couldn’t log into my account a week after I made it and nearly gave up entirely.

        Yup I had this experience too. I’ve read that their denial emails aren’t being sent out by their mail server, but it really felt like they just ghosted me.

      I’m on the SDF instance. It’s a small instance that seems to Federate with all the big ones including Beehaw. It has manual approval but only asks one question and approval is within a day.

      Also the host platform has been around since 1987.

      There’s always a chance you might have unfortunately been overlooked from the sheer amount of applications the admins have to sort through daily. I had to resubmit my app twice to get through, same answers and all. Got approved in under 30 mins
