+            <ul>
+                <li>
+                    <strong>Review Your Application:</strong> Reflect on the information you provided. Our decision may have been influenced by a variety of factors, including the clarity of your intentions or how well they align with our community values. Consider if there was any additional context or passion for Pixelfed that you could have included.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    <strong>Reapply with Updated Information:</strong> We encourage you to reapply if you feel your initial application didn’t fully capture your enthusiasm or alignment with our community values. However, we recommend exercising caution and thoughtfulness. Please take time to refine and enhance your application before resubmitting, as repetitive or frequent submissions can overwhelm our admin team. We value careful consideration and meaningful updates in reapplications, as this helps us maintain a fair and manageable review process for everyone. Your patience and understanding in this regard are greatly appreciated and can positively influence the outcome of future applications.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    <strong>Seek Feedback:</strong> If you are seeking clarity on why your application wasn't successful, you're welcome to contact us for feedback. However, please be mindful that our admins handle a high volume of queries and applications. While we strive to provide helpful responses, our ability to offer detailed individual feedback may be limited. We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter. When reaching out, ensure your query is concise and considerate of the admins' time. This approach will help us assist you more effectively and maintain a positive interaction, even if your initial application didn't meet our criteria.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    <strong>Stay Engaged:</strong> Even if you're not a member yet, you can stay connected with Pixelfed through our public forums, blog, or social media channels. This will keep you updated on any changes or new features that might make our platform a better fit for you in the future.
+                </li>
+            </ul>
+
+            <p>Remember, a rejection is not necessarily a reflection of your qualities or potential as a member of our community. It's often about finding the right fit at the right time. We appreciate your interest in Pixelfed and hope you won't be discouraged from exploring other ways to engage with our platform.</p>
