@kissane Great post. I hope it's read by Fedi devs! About onboarding, I remember that in my mailing list WebSanDiego I had a default for new members to be moderated, and I would quickly pass through a real person, ban spammers, and talk to marketers and recruiters about what constitutes a first post. This is not a model of social media that scales in a Twitter-like manner, with the immediacy and "it's just for fun" expectations that are now built in. But clearly any new service needs greeters.
