Saidit is being infiltrated and manipulated by paid shills. This is how the fall of Reddit started and if we aren't vigilant, the same could happen here.

It is an interesting idea, but who approves people to go from the introductions sub to the rest of the site?

Trusted-team and community.
AND importantly the trusted-team and community also watches others in the trusted-team for anyone failing to live up to their trust and the site's charter declaring the important values, ethics, goals, etc.

If this approval process gets hijacked by shills then the site is over.

Everything in the open. The shills can and will whine all day long, but without effective access they can't subvert it all.

That's the weak point of it.

Wrong. The weakness is in inaction, lack of communication, and lack of community input.

_And also it would slow growth even more.

Pure speculation.
Doing something is better than nothing and policy shifts can be retracted if they fail.

But even with those downsides considered, it might be worth trying on a new website

Why not try here?
