There are invite-based systems since the dawn of the internet, notably torrent trackers and closed forums, and mods can see who vouched for them. It’s not worth it unless the community has something unique to offer (i.e. new blueray rips, non-public deals). Adding crypto to it doesn’t add anything of value.
What if you wouldn’t be consripted? Or you’d not be sent to frontlines? Or you’d happen to go through it unscarsed? If you can’t change it, you can only bet it won’t notice and harm you.
There’s like a day or two of lectures about how this state of mind works. I’ve started to ignore some folks who’ve drown into it.
