Thank YOU!
I did NOT know about Mastodon invitations!
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services unfortunately, invitations allow accounts to bypass the normal vetting system of account approvals, so we’ve had to switch them off over here, and I’m sure other admins of smaller approval-only servers have also
@rrgeorge@raphus.social
Yup, the admin can switch them off at their discretion. (I've included instructions in the guide on how admins can do this as it's not very obvious.)
It really depends on the server whether invitations are appropriate or not, it's the admin's call to decide.
