   It's interesting how what many people really want from a social setting is gatekeeping, but they don't bother to actually implement it. They just rely on things like obscurity and perceived difficulty of use.

     @Hyolobrika I was for having every single person on the Fediverse and after the last Twitter migration I think I changed my mind and would be okay with intentionally adding barriers to keep people like that out. I'm still thinking about it so it's not a sure thing but it's the way I'm currently leaning.

     @PostingHellbound @Hyolobrika Yeah, the general idea around gatekeeping thankfully did another 180 recently

     that's one of the is-oughts. moving anything looking like gatekeeping to verboten buckets primes the target for entryism.

     The whole point of being attracted to a community in the first place is discrimination (of taste, of interest, of tool, etc). This is "dangerous" talk and so people just won't discuss it for fear of making progressive zealots have a fit in their living room and soil the carpet. But, as you guys say, it's becoming obvious how necessary it is. Let's see if they will actually admit they're doing it already themselves.
