Hey "champ", i never said it was. I said that the way forums work is that if you set your community to appear in All, then that community is supposed to be for all

To kids? Nah i think people still at least give an ear to kids for a couple seconds

Lots of ways. If they're interested in women-only topics then all they have to do is goto the searchbar and type "women". And the community mods can even set the community's post visibility to public and set the allowed commenters to approved users only. And a bunch of other possible setups too. Basically the only bad way to do it is to set the forum to public, and then tell the entirety of the fediverse they have to treat it like it's actually set to private

In the US that's true, but it's not true in every country that has those 3 things

Why even comment if you didn't read what you're replying to?

Why do you think that?

If an idea SEEMS stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid

Shrooms help with exactly this type of inward turmoil, in my experience. It sounds like you're asking yourself a lot of good questions, and shrooms allow you to actually inspect yourself. They let you see yourself from the outside, so you can untie knots from the outside, which you normally can't do because you're the one tied up in there.

As i just wrote to another user, in terms of how forums work, it is saying it wants to be private but also public. There is no default setting for that, but there are ways to do it that achieve what you want without breaking the public/private system. For instance you can make the forum public, but set it to only allow comments from approved users.

In terms of how platforms work, a forum is either set to 'public' for everyone, or set to 'private' if you want to control who interacts with a forum
