Being part of a group should be a deliberate choice.
In Clozeu, people join a group by accepting an invitation or by choosing to join through an invitation link or QR code, where self-joining is enabled.
This means a person is not simply placed into a group without their involvement.
The same principle applies when leaving. A member can withdraw from a group on their own initiative rather than depending entirely on an administrator to remove them.
This gives group membership a clearer meaning.
Joining represents a decision to take part in the shared space. Leaving represents a decision to step away from it.
For some groups, self-joining through a link or QR code may be open and straightforward. Other groups may require approval before a new member is admitted.
Both approaches preserve the idea that membership has boundaries and that participation should be intentional.
Clozeu therefore treats group membership as something people enter into knowingly, rather than something that simply happens to them.
