Guys, what are you on about.

It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.

Redditors told me so.

Don't you see it?

That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.

Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.

As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!

I'm also in favour of a higher human-to-bot ratio, which a small hurdle should help with.
