How do you feel about the massive influx of users?

      That person is saying it like it’s a bad thing that signing up isn’t brain-dead.

      That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.

      Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.

      As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!

        I’m also in favour of a higher human-to-bot ratio, which a small hurdle should help with.

        And that’s ok. MOST redditors are lurkers who don’t interact with the platform and/or bot accounts. Nothing good will come to this platform if these accounts move over.

        Give the platform 2 minutes to figure out how it works and all is ok. This on its own is a great screening process.

        Not that the platform is hard. It’s just different.
