I can't argue with a legit question and I suspect some others will feel the same. The answer (which you may not agree with) is that without a signup of any kind this would be a completely different thing. It wouldn't be a "semi-private network" for people who miss the old web or a community that rejects what's wrong with social media now. It'd be an open door anyone could pass through which would leave me no ability to moderate and basically nullifies the whole premise. The barrier is what lets it self-select. So the only rationale I can offer for why you should bother is if any of it resonates and you're curious whether you'd like it, come check it out. If not, no hard feelings here.

Why should I bother to request an account? High barrier.
