...unfortunately this'll take awhile. it's still about 4,780 as of writing. but that's down probably 1,000 from its peak! we finally have a hacky system to handle denials, so that's really helping here.

we also missed a bunch of cool people, who we're approving too.

we can now, finally, say that if you register, your judgement (whether approve/deny) should come down within 24-48 hours, although the deny email might take longer than that depending on circumstances.

I'm in and got email. Thanks so much!

Welcome! I'm glad to have you here.

That's a hell of a lot of applications to go through! Take your time as you need and don't feel too pressured by the sheer volume of applications.

a lot of them in fairness are easy denies, and that alone makes it pretty easy to do them in batches of 100 or so. i think i've cut down the total number by about 100 from posting so far

If its not too nosy to ask: What do most denied requests look like? Like, did they not answer the question or were they being dicks?

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

mostly the first, very occasionally the second; we ask them to reapply. unfortunately now we have a whole other problem which precludes us from currently sending any emails, so uh lol

Good job!

You guys really did get your hands full didn't you?

Encouraging progress. Though I'd suspect that clearing the backlog alone may not resolve the problem some users have had with a perpetually stalled signup attempt.

Awesome to hear.
