I'm pretty openly in support of gatekeeping. I'd have set the bar a bit earlier, but most people are going to set it in a way to include themselves anyway. However, I think gatekeeping is overly maligned right now. A fully open community is exceedingly unlikely survive going viral. Influx of new users at that scale is likely to outnumber existing users at a much larger scale, resulting in replacement, or at least dilution of the source community.
