    The droves of instances that choose to function as clubs with application process aren’t doing it that way because it’s the only way, they’re doing it because they want to or don’t understand how to set up automoderation tools.

    Pray tell, what experience do you have hosting lemmy instances or even social media websites to speak with such authority?

    People don’t have to be worried they won’t be rejected if all they want to do is look at memes, upvote, and laugh

    People can get banned for the wrong types of memes and for bad voting patterns in lemmy

      I’m not sure how bad the false positive rate is on instances like sh.itjust.works and lemmings.world, though from what I’ve heard it’s nowhere near as bad as Reddit’s false positive rate (which is probably a lot of intentional checks for arbitrary censorship).
