It's definitely a tricky situation, as I can totally relate to /u/AdelleChattre wanting this place to grow at the right pace even if it means the community would remain smaller for a while longer. I guess the risk here is that new members would come from other platforms in large numbers and wreak havoc by not playing nice, which is obviously a huge concern!
However I am also very confident in the underlaying functionality specifically designed to help the community with handling such influx of users which from what I can see would be coming in waves, and from what I witnessed over the last week we as a community handled the arrival of all these new people exceedingly well, so many people contributed it was beautiful to witness! I don't see how this cannot continue with the invite system serving as an effective system to control the amount of incoming members.
