Discussion about the rationale behind some design decisions

...

Bob should not be automatically added to the team after registering a new account / signing in to his account, but instead he should need to manually accept the membership invitation. This separates the process of registering for a Synapse account and joining the team, giving Bob the chance to explore Synapse without committing to join Alice's team.
