The reason for the error should be visible in the error log. You can find it in your hosting area. If necessary, the support of your hosting can help you.
Alternatively, you could also enable debugging in WordPress. How to do this is described here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/ – also here the support of your hosting can help you if necessary to edit the file accordingly.
In both cases you should be able to see what the cause is in the logfile.

I deactivated the Buddypress plugin and Dreamhost sent me the following message concerning the “pending users Activation error”.
Your thoughts?

Hello Kenneth,
Thank you!, that actually recorded a proper error stack trace within the
debug.log file:

The stack trace all points to the actual plugin being the issue, please
contact the BuddyPress support (or community forum) with this error,
which they can use to better understand why their plugin is generating a
critical error when trying to bulk edit the users.
I’m reactivating the other plugins, as now the main error is visible, and
it is directly showing a code error within the BuddyPress plugin.
Thanks,

The error apparently occurs in the BBPress plugin. I would recommend that you contact their support forum for clarification: https://bbpress.org/forums/
