Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they've stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they'll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.
It's just a shame that they are overly selective about who they allow to join. When I was looking for a new home after Rexxit, the first place I applied to was Beehaw after seeing it spoken so highly of. My values seem to align with theirs and I thought I wrote a pretty good application stating as much, but they never let me in.
Try again?
Eh, I'm already here on Lemmy.world, it's really not that bad, and I kinda like having the ability to downvote assholes/racists/spambots when I see them.
I see what you mean. I have an account there too for access to everything. Apps are making it pretty seemless.
