I've decided to make account creations by approval only, which may change to invite only. It's clear such a huge wave of people from Twitter has had an overall negative effect. It's not even about server performance, people just don't read the rules and they complain there's actual moderation here unlike the hellscape they came from. We're incredibly fair and balanced, but this isn't Grindr or FetLife, nor is it supposed to be a Twitter replacement.
@nathan I expect there's bad actors deliberately trying to stir the pot as well.
@SusanLewis Nah, just gay cis men finding out the status quo they're so used to doesn't exist here and wetting themselves about it.
@nathan I see. Some people just want Twitter:2 I guess!

@nathan @SusanLewis

Wetting themselves definitely needs a CW. 😮

Oh you mean metaphorically 😉

As a twitter refuge I think you do a marvelous job although I did get a little peeved when someone requested a CW on pictures of my home baked pork pies. 🧐
