If you run an instance that has closed invitations (by policy, not temporarily due to load or spam), I'd be interested in chatting with you about why your instance is closed, and how/if you allow new members, and what you do for people who you can't/won't let in. (I run a closed instance myself and LOVE it, so I'm just looking to get a sense of current practice, not for debate.) #mastodamins
@darius My instance is almost single account (people who support my other work financially get an invite because this is probably the fastest way for them to ping me on issues now that I've closed/locked down other social network accounts) but this is mostly just me wanting to not have to worry about someone else's instance going down (if mine does, it's my own fault and I can fix it if I want to) and wanting to keep server costs low.
