Is it better to limit access to limit access to only those you personally know?

Sounds like a great way to limit exposure to differing thoughts, experiences, and opinions.

If you’re only hearing from those in your friend circle, it’s just another glorified chat room... nothing new here

It’s not only those that you personally know. I was invited by a complete stranger, for example.

Ahh that does make it better but the same limitations still apply to some degree... that’s just a byproduct of exclusivity
