    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)

        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.
