Nathan 🏳️🌈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.
Yaseen, Yaseen of Yaseen 🏳️⚧️@nathan what's the difference between approval only and invite only? Does that mean when someone wants to join here, they have to be vetted? How does it work for you on your end? ☺ Just curious.
@yassie_j They have to give a reason and have to be manually approved by a moderator. Invite only they just need an invite link from an existing member.
@nathan oooh okay thanks! I think it's a good idea then, esp if you need to keep the workload. IMHO 65k is a nice number, esp since other instances work fine on smaller figures. Thank you and your mod team for the hard work!!
