Very well said, especially concerning the onboarding. If the bars get any lower, I feel there will just be more moderation to do, meaning the workload of users who already voluntarily put time and effort into a community they (still) believe in will just increase, with little quality in return. Onboarding should make it easier to gain traction for those who join SE based on the merit of the platform, not because it was easy to sign up (to put it bluntly). —
