  They want to know if your views will mesh well with the community they are trying to curate before they let you in.

  I browsed Beehaw for a bit before deciding that it did, and mentioned it in my application.

  I think they’re a bit more choosy now, as I used to see folks spouting things like “can you not use the word ‘minorities’? It shows a bias. You need to address everyone, not give preferential treatment,” or some other dumb horseshit.

  Honestly, I think they just don’t want to have to deal with people saying stupid shit and they’re tired of trying to argue with people who A). genuinely hold stupid, shitty beliefs, or B). are trolling/pretending to be stupid in order to get a reaction.

  More power to them, if that’s the case.

  I wrote 3 - 4 sentences and got in.

  They want people to join who will make an effort to contribute to their community.

  So their “”“essay”“” requirement is working if it keeps out people who think that writing a couple lines is “mental”.

  Is this real? I so dearly want this to be real.

  Success = hard work.

  Hard work = not lazy.

  Not lazy = good.

  Rich / successful people = good people (unless they’re involved in godless entertainment, of course)

  Not successful = not working hard enough.

  Not working hard enough = lazy.

  Lazy = bad.

  Poor / unsuccessful people = bad people

  They do not think hard enough to see nuance. They just don’t.

  An old friend of mine once ranted to me about how poor women will keep popping out babies to get free government money & food. Like… bitch, do you know how actually difficult it is to get “”“free money”“” from the government? Are you seriously mad that children are being fed? Do you think that poor people fund their “lavish lifestyles” off government funds? BITCH, POOR PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT!!! RICH PEOPLE DO!!!

  I am always worried about replying to “older” threads after being brow-beaten on R×ddit with messages like “Dude, it’s been 48 hours. Why are you replying to this?”.

  Plus the old “don’t necro old threads/posts” I’m used to from other sites and forums, as well.

  Force of habit after those experiences, honestly.
