"Write a bit about yourself to join this server and if we decide you're too boring and normal we'll reject your application and say you're a spammer afterwards"
Hmm I wonder why normies aren't flocking to these fediverse platforms, what could be stopping them, couldn't be the shitty onboarding process could it? Nah asking people to apply is the best onboarding process ever (obvious big ass /s)
Tbf it's a good way to keep the laziest of shits out
Agreed. If someone can’t be bothered to write two sentences, they really have no business being on a discussion platform. Because clearly they won’t be contributing much if anything to the conversation.
Great, so you want to join a club instead of a social media? Is that it? Because that's what you're advocating for, small private clubs which most normies don't have enough interest to join, out of fear of being rejected or just being rejected multiple times anyway. "Wonder why it's so empty here?" -Lemmy Users trying to figure out why their exclusive Lemmy clubs haven't taken off.
Most people aren't satisfied with Lemmy's very small and stagnant growth, and I can say I'm one of them, asking people to prove their worth and rejecting them for being a normie is a horrible strategy for growth.
Users don't cost much to keep around, especially if they don't post. The data needed for the account would be authentication data, and post data, the second of which doesn't apply to users who don't post, and the first one being negligible compared to the amount of space available on a common hard drive. So, why not just give them a chance?
So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it's fucked up that it's the norm, but also anyone who isn't a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn't belong on federated social media.
What percentage of people who join platforms like Twitter or Bluesky actually post anything though?
