I don't believe that's accurate. a lot of instances do have a registration questionnaire required however, mostly to combat spam, similar to some mastodon intsances.

the article says it got 3.1 billion in fees, and only 51,600 members (which seems really low). that means each member on average paid around $60,078 in yearly fees? that doesn't seem right?
maybe they meant 51,600,000 members, which then works out to the more reasonable $60.08 in fees?
anyways, this project looks very interesting to me, i also currently use hugo for my static sites, but this looks much simpler, and the sass compilation is a nice feature too.
