Don't think anyone was confused about how to exercise free will. The criticism is on needing/having the process. Everyone understands why it exists. Some just think it's a poor reason.
Yeah. I don't know how to argue for it. It seems obvious to me that some communities have standards to keep and an open borders policy is an automatic way of not keeping those standards.
There are servers with "open borders" that require lengthy essays. Your reasoning is irrelivant
that's not "open borders", that's equivalent to a visa request that will very likely be denied if the border agent decides he doesn't like it, so my reasoning stands
I'm sorry but your reasoning is flawed in so many other ways that confronting all o the issues would require writing an essay which I have already involuntarliy started thanks to your complete idiocy. To start with: essays can easily be fabricated or automatically generated. There is no guarantee of any kind that a person is a ceirtan way because he sent some text over the internet assuring anyone of those qualities. There is no way to trust any server unless it's invite only where people only invite friends they know can be trusted. If that's how lemmy will end up then it will never be able to replace reddit. Having to interact with lunatics like you make me realize that lemmy is sure to die
