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 I would advise agains invite-only. This makes it much harder for people to join. Confirmation e-mail makes it very close to any other normal service out there.
Just my 2 cents

@croqaz that is (IIRC) what we currently do, but we still get spambots and fake accounts fairly often 🤔

FWIW I just joined, entire process took maybe an hour, keep it the way it is.....invite-only might be too restrictive.
