I'm sad that a lot of people couldn't perceive the mastodon in the room.
the last time I tried to make a mastodon account I had to type a paragraph about why i want an account and then wait for an email approval and I don't know what the hell happened because I forgot to look for the email and by now I don't give a shit
I didn't even know Mastodon has an exclusive club streak lol.
Just like Lemmy, some Mastodon instances have measures in place to try and prevent bots.
And it's also a way for topic focused servers to filter out signups as well. There are general purpose instances with open sign ups that don't do that.
Yeah, I got into Fosstodon right before they went invite only. And then I moved to a Sharkey instance.
