Proposal: starting this weekend, we switch hci.social's new account registration to require either:
a) 💌 an invitation from an existing member, or
b) 📪 emailing the admins.
+ Pros: early prevention of trolls sign-ups, which t could get our instance blocked across the fediverse if they use it to harass people in other instances
- Cons: additional friction to sign up process will turn people away
What do other admins think? cc @axz @nigini @YuhanLiu
