Just have an intro survey with some questions to gate entry like on any old left discord, yes its more work for the modteam to begin with to approve new users, but it's less work later on playing whack a mole with trolls and infiltrators. I've seen the invite someone to get onto a place backfire before, just takes one disgruntled user to spread the link throughout the vast internet vs a gated question entry takes a lot more effort particularly if you say, have theory questions for more sensitive areas of 'debate' or what not. In my experience left reactionary types really skimp on theory hence why they fall into social chauvinism.
Yes, but in my experience the thrill troll types are frankly too foolish or unmotivated to lie whereas infiltrators can be slowed but hard to outright stop since there may or may not be a financial incentive. Depending the survey type it may be something you can't really lie on readily since it requires a degree of understanding.
Yes this can hinder the lib to left pipeline if you put down a solid theory gate for the general site, just put the more difficult surveys on any sort of sensitive or trolled area, rest can be anything from a few words on some check topic(s) or an introduction (say hi and why with a degree of elaboration maybe some interaction from mods/community), there'd be some community standard maybe a degree of subjectivity, or something like what the chapo discord had years back with a long annoying survey that would take a very long min for a troll to deconstruct.
