Gregory's Server@homegrown The trouble is that this is a bad experience for users, because who knows if or when anyone is going to approve your signup?

 @homegrown Each time there is a peak in signups a lot of people get caught up in a backlog. People just don't know if it's going to take an hour, a day or never. The fact that it's usually quick doesn't really solve that.  @tomw @homegrown that might be how I ended up on two different servers. If I remember right I didn’t think my registration went through so I did it again and tried a different server. I got approved on both. Whoops.  @tomw @homegrown User here. I did not find sign up difficult or problematic in any way and I am far happier to have no ads and no spam. And that's what keeps me on the Fediverse. Don't underestimate your users. |
@tomw
It's almost always approved quickly and then they never have to think about it again though?
Whereas spam is going to bother them the whole time if there are instant signups.
