@louis as long as there are no red shirts?
seriously IMO wait a while, i see quto are involved and the guy that leads that pod is somewhat a polarising personality

Waiting a while is certainly an option, though keep in mind there are a few advantages to joining early..
1) there is no obligation, any intance can leave at any time without notice, so nor eal downside to joining
2) Right now application is simple and quick since we dont have the full voting architecture up yet.. after about a week it will take weeks to get in and be a bit of a process and require a bit of effort
3) The order of instances on the public list is based on the order they join. So the earlier you join the more users you will get through our directory
4) namespaces (like the link to individual users profiles) are first come first server, so all the short or cool profile names might be taken later.
Other than these points though there is nothing stopping you from applying at a later point.
