I think you&#x27;d have to define &quot;Geek&quot;, then somehow enforce the terms just in case someone invites a member who isn&#x27;t sufficiently &quot;Geeky.&quot; Otherwise you&#x27;ll have people bickering over who belongs there and who doesn&#x27;t. How about car geeks? Sports geeks? People who bite the heads off chickens for a living? Will prospective members have to prove their &quot;Geek cred&quot; somehow?<p>It&#x27;s sort of like how Hacker News is for &quot;anything that good hackers would find interesting,&quot; which sounds like it means something but really doesn&#x27;t mean anything specific, and probably just resolves to &quot;anything that correlates with the interests of the mods,&quot; like every other moderated community. Other than branding, what even is the point of using &quot;Geek&quot; at all?<p>But to actually answer you question, personally, no. I think there are already tons of sites which cater to &quot;Geek culture&quot; (or nerd culture or... whatever) of various niches, and of course if what you want in HN, but with invitation only, there is lobste.rs. Someone can basically set what you&#x27;re describing up as a subreddit. I also don&#x27;t like invite-only communities on general principle.
