A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I honestly don't see it as an interview process. You just need to answer three questions. It takes less time than writing a post. I assume the intention is simply for the admins to make sure that at least you have read the server rules and understand what kind of community they're trying to build here.
I also think it's fine if most people can't be bothered to do that. There are other instances who will have them. And those instances will have to figure out how to deal with that. But it's fair for the admins of Beehaw to limit registrations, since they're the ones putting in the (free) work to keep all this running. I would argue they don't "need you more" or need anyone in particular, for that matter. It's not like they're a platform trying to turn a profit from their user numbers - unlike what we're accustomed to, sadly. They're just trying to make this a nice space - for everyone - to share stuff without the caveats of conventional social media.
