A lot of fediverse server admins seem to labour under the misapprehension they're obliged to have open sign-ups, and to keep them open even when they're being overwhelmed by newbies (not to mention spammers, trolls etc).

#PublicServiceMessage: They're not.

It's perfectly legitimate to make new accounts invite-only from Day 1, or to close signups when your population reaches whatever size you consider manageable.
