The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.

And that's ok. MOST redditors are lurkers who don't interact with the platform and/or bot accounts. Nothing good will come to this platform if these accounts move over.

Give the platform 2 minutes to figure out how it works and all is ok. This on its own is a great screening process.

Not that the platform is hard. It's just different.
