I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

I’m not saying there are no good reasons to make a community without posting, but when that’s all a user has ever done, and they’ve done it dozens of times, I have a hard time assuming they’re just trying to help the fediverse thrive.
I think you are discounting the power of branding. Names are important. If the “best” names are being squatted on by former reddit mods on a power trip, and the community fractures and makes alt communities, things get confusing fast for new users and it hampers adoption of the platform. Stop power mods before they are even born.
