As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of "demerit point" system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.

My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.

If someone isn't willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.

Article kind of covered it all. Not much I can add other than I can't wait for all these apps to pull back their pointless ✨ buttons

One thing I'm curious about is much of a mainstream trend signaller / kingmaker Oprah is these days.

Nice. From back when garden gnomes were still in.

And I think we'll discover that the Piglins aren't totally evil along the way.

I do like that it's weird...
