    It’s pretty obvious 99% of users bounce off the signup page. People who think otherwise simply are too disconnected from normie reality

    Here is what happens

    Let’s join this thing

    I have to choose a server ? Ok which one ?

    Wow that’s so many, is this important or cani pick at random ?

    If you pick wrong, everything you write could be deleted or never seen by anyone.

    Ok, well I better choose properly

    Read server rules pages for 2-3 minutes

    There’s a distraction

    Later, joins threads

      You forgot the step where you write three paragraphs explaining why you want a server account and get denied because you didn’t supply sufficient detail for them to approve your application.

        And yet, my server where this is policy is thriving. If it grew any faster than it has been there would likely have been even greater technical issues, and there has never been a lack of people to talk to. It’s almost like there are benefits to not letting people create hundreds of bogus accounts that outweigh the small cost to the user!

        This obsession with growth is pathological. People have internalized the needs of capital and don’t even understand their own needs.
