Maybe but it’s a big point of the Fediverse

tbh I was thinking about this today, and I think there is some merit to having the setup be slightly obtuse so that more of the people on any given thing are the kind of people who think this kind of tech is important, rather than people who don’t give a shit about that.

At least, I like when spaces are more densely that kind of person. But other people should have nice things too I guess.

I’d hate for this to become an echo chamber of people that understand federated services. That excludes a lot of people that have no interest in it that have valuable input.

Not really. They’re all connected anyways, and if they use an app they’ll probably never notice apart from the @instance.com theu have to put at the end of some communities

It doesn’t require users to enforce. Individual instances should probably start having caps and close signups/invites occasionally.
