They only have 4 admins for their server and the massive influx of people across the board, but mainly Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works being two of the biggest instances with open registration, was apparently causing them issues.
They have a very curated instance they’re wanting to have and that’s on them. While they’re in the top 5 for users currently, that probably won’t last. As more people join, they’ll end up joining instances that don’t ask for answers to question forms.
It’ll be fine. Beehaw will refederate or they’ll wither.
Fine in the long term, but a bit annoying in the next weeks. They had in my opinion already big gaming and tech community, with some interesting discussions, and now we are more fragmented, making the whole thing less attractive and straightforward for new users.
