This opinion may be unpopular, "gatekeeping" is good, at least to a certain degree. It essentially forces people to integrate. Now this can, of course, be really toxic, but on the other hand, it can help to preserve quality (and culture). Most "communities" nowadays aren't gate kept, and they actively try to tear down gates and general entry barriers, maybe it should become more acceptable again to put barriers up for self-preservation.
