I'm worried about lack of growth when it's invite-only. The good thing about GC on Reddit was that it was easy to find for anybody who'd peaked and just googled something related. Invite only is more work, more waiting and at least I would be a bit hesitant about it if I was new to the scene.

Yeah true. But as easy it was to find the community, it was that easy to destroy it. Kind of like killing the mother ship if everything else is a drone. In computers, robust systems use clones or nodes that have copies in different locations. Should something happen to one location, the others have a copy and it is easy to restore the other node. We need to be similar. Spread across different platforms. I mean if they want to get rid of us, we should make them work for it. We were just sitting ducks last time.

Is the invited only stage temporary? I thought so, I might be wrong

We will likely open registration without invite codes in the near future. Just trying to keep track of who is coming from where right now since we JUST launched.

The fact that an email is required might be a barrier for some who are privacy-minded. I created a new email to join but some might worry about even that, I’m thinking
