@risottobias honestly, I think most people just want to signup and go. I’ve noticed that even slowing down the signup process by requiring a signup reason and moderator approval, which adds maybe an hour or two at most to the process, results in nearly all of them finding a different instance or just leaving altogether. I think we have this view that most people here want the level of control that running their own instance brings, but that’s not really the case. They don’t want to worry about what happens behind the app or the web page. Some of them recognize there is a lot to it and donate to support, but most don’t. @dma @raphael @esk @thisismissem @mekkaokereke
