hot community take
exclusivity is not a good way to make a community
that means for example a board software that has special cases for certain users to have things unattainable for others
if you want to foster a good community you need a level playing field for everyone to have the same set of features (when those features are for the most part, cosmetic) as everyone else
exclusivity encourages cults of personality
hot community take, maybe subtoot
this is probably a heavy and vague subtoot but, having tried to participate in communities where certain users get special perks that are hardwired into the software you're using
like yeah i guess it's fun for you and your friends
but that's not how you make an open community
you're making a closed circle of people in on the joke
and when and outsider looks in and sees all that, they'll just be confused, perplexed and frustrated
hot community take, maybe subtoot
by all means i'm not saying you're not allowed to have fun with software, go heck the world up with your weird little gadgets made for your and your friends
but please don't try to pass it off as a community open to everyone, it really isn't
