I invited a user I met on the Arena last year who was also big on DESO and it was like a gang initiation where they throw pennies on the ground and a pack of thugs take turns kicking them in the ribs while they try to pick them up.

He got immediately attacked and flagged and he never posted again.

That being said I stay out of stubbornness, stupidity, and for the love of the game 🎮

There are a lot of other ecosystems making it more inviting and easier to join.
