1k upvotes here is like the equivalent of 50k on Reddit (probably I'm operating on dated info, who knows how much they screwed with the upvoting system by now lmao)
Welcome to the private forum ;)
I wouldn't even really call this a private forum, though. Anybody can join for free with minimal effort.
Now, SomethingAwful is a private forum, I paid them ten bucks to join. And to be honest I like their style. It's a cheap one time payment for permanent membership but if you're being an asshole and get yourself perma banned, you're going to pay another tenner to rejoin. It's a great anti-troll and anti-botting feature.
I don't think that strategy would work well for the Fediverse and I don't recommend it as such. But that's what I'd consider a "private forum".
Nah I meant in Reddit when you reach special karma number for a post you had special sub opened based on your karma.
