    Loving Lemmy (and the beehaw community specifically) Even if all of reddit’s issues are addressed magically overnight I’d still stay here. I feel like I can say what I want here without triggering some alt right douchebag

    yeah. we’re trying to really curb who we’re adding at this point to “people who actually want to be here that align with our goals” so it’s not completely overwhelming (our backlog of admissions is about 100)

      Good luck with that, it’s no easy feat, and I expect it to get especially crazy when many sub-reddits shut down on the 12th. Be as ready as you can, I’ll try to help guide new users best I can as well.

        as we’ve noted a couple times, an extreme option we can leverage is just not approving anyone and if it gets too crazy i’m pretty confident that’s what we’ll do (or we’ll limit our approvals to a general number per day, and what happens happens. i think we might also be able to make the instance private, dunno.
