to be honest? I don't actually think that is a bad thing. This is how we used to do it back in the day with cough non-official cough raves. You couldn't get address details without being vetted and approved by existing network members.

I mean, do we even want exponential growth in the Fediverse like every fucking techbro has been brainwashed is The Way? I don't think we do. We want genuine interaction. We aren't trying to get rich, we aren't wanting to IPO and exit... we just want to communicate with real humans that share our interests?
