It's low stakes to you because you don't care about it. It's not low stakes for the people who set up instances specifically based around building communities with a common theme.

That's very true! I don't think it should be completely random but something instances could opt-in to or have some other opt-out criteria.

It would indeed be bad if an instance focused on a specific mindset, goals, or subject was essentially invaded by clueless new users!
