I know the federated nature of Starter Kits does open up the potential for abuse in other ways, like in the request notifications, so I will add the ability for admins to reject requests from specific servers, or only allow them from an allowlist of servers.

It's not my place to enforce federation restrictions, so I will leave that up to each admin and person to manage.

I do think we're solving many of the complaints that BlueSky Starter Packs has by the consent-driven nature
