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.

I mean, one of my first posts here was arguing with a user who said that "using the word 'minorities' is offensive since it doesn't include everybody" and kept arguing points like that.
Then they huffed and lamented that "clearly [they were] not welcome here."
I half-expected a "so much for the tolerant left!" before they self-exiled.
Poor little guy! This place is obviously far too rough of a neighborhood for them to be comfortable!
That has to be one of the stupidest things I've read in a while
You know what? I was mistaken here. They were offended that someone brought up the governor of Florida and equated it to comparing them to governor of Florida.
Their point was "using the word 'minorities' means that you have a bias political agenda."
So my point still stands. And this was some of their comments/replies.
