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 honestly can't recommend any one forum platform. I didn't mean to recommend Invision and I'm glad you didn't read it that way. Nothing against them, it's just my information is way out of date whether I liked them or not. The software was good. I was on their host/demo board and interacted with other customers and some people on the team. Nothing bad to say. I've never heard of humhub and Flarum, but again, my information is out of date.

I don't know much about blogging, micro or otherwise.

Thanks but I can not use Invision even if I wanted to. Remember I'm Iranian. All western and international payment systems are sanctioned for us. I can not pay them even if I wanted to that's why I was looking for open source solutions
