@agowa338@chaos.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social So how is a new user gonna get an invite if they are not already on another instance?
That is the thing. If we close down all our instances so nobody new can join, Big Tech has won.
So that has to be an ultima ratio, the most extreme measure that we hold in the back pocket but try to avoid.
In fact, I would even put "must make a cryptocurrency payment to register" before that. Despite all the planet burning issues that has as well.

@agowa338@chaos.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Now the obvious anti scraping admin control: - Rate limiting. I.e. require login to see any timelines, and only allow an account to use X resources per day. - Apply smaller rate limit to lurker accounts. Only who posts publicly can see more. - Who posts LLM slop gets deleted, of course.
