Thanks for the feedback 🙏
This is why I'm asking, as most of the time the moderated signups are not meant to be about exclusivity or gated communities or similar. But they have no way to customise the question to make this clear 😔
Would it help if the question was customised to make clear that they aren't trying to be exclusive, that they're just wanting to put off spammers etc?
And if they gave a rough idea of how quickly approvals happened?

Being up front about community standards and what would give someone the boot would make a big difference. Then I could make an educated decision about whether that works for me.
But I'll be honest, just waiting to see if I'm approved by someone else already feels culturally loaded in an awkward way. Reminds me of lots of ways I've had a bad time.
