Regarding spam: Should we make this Mastodon instance invite-only (with invites available from any existing user or from me if you email me directly)?
@jonah when the account gets approved the welcome aboard email gets sent. So maybe less interested but not forgotten.
@MasTorDon maybe. The issue with that is after registering you'd have to wait to be approved AFTER registration, which I think will discourage people from using the accounts (so we'll end up with lots of unused accounts). Whereas with invites you'd have to wait BEFORE registration, but then have instant access with the invite. So the people that actually use the invite are more likely to then also use the account.
