So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?

    If you think that’s unwelcoming, applications are even more so. Most people don’t want to fill out an essay just to be allowed to participate.

    If I had to fill out an application, I wouldn’t be here, and I’m sure a lot of others wouldn’t be either.

    That’s not to say that better methods shouldn’t be implemented though.

      An application doesn’t have to be an essay. Feddit.dk has an application that literally just requires a sentence or two. It’s really not a big barrier to entry.

      I agree here. Filling out an application would have easily kept me out. Many may see that as a good thing though :)
