Registration mode: open or application? (lib.lgbt)

As I'm sure most of you noticed, you had to fill in an application to participate here.

While this can be pretty useful from a quality perspective, it is also a significantly barrier to entry; obviously you have to fill in said application, wait to be approved, and then have a sufficient level of interest to return and participate.

Lower barriers of entry can help engagement, but can also harm communities with bad actors gaining easy access.

Anyone have any opinions?

That is definitely true. I've been mostly posting in Beehaw but should probably contribute something around here as well.
