Hi guys, same Iranian guy here, first I want to say I really appreciate you guys helping me, love you guys you all are genuinely amazing people.

I read all your comments in my previous post and one thing I realized I'm not qualified for this at all. This is too dangerous and puts my life and many of my friends at risk.

So in the spirit of being pragmatic here and finding best solution meanwhile I figure that out. Where can we have a private community with moderation and admin tools and multi-topic discussions on the fediverse? Is that even a thing? I know that's not how fediverse works so the answer is probably a hard No. Then where should we go? Discord have all this but that's not my preference at all. I know Reddit has private subs but I don't like reddit like many of you guys. What is the compromise here what do you suggest I should do?

I know Reddit has private subs

They're not actually private. They're just hidden from other users, Reddit itself can see everything posted there, and you have no control over who they share the data with.
On the Fediverse, nothing can be private. That's just not how the software works.

For private communication, you can use an anonymous encrypted messenger like Threema.
