Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gated communities are exclusive communities where only certain people are granted access. Similarly, online gated communities selectively allow access based on criteria such as membership, approval, or invitation. This allows for greater control over who joins the community and can create a sense of exclusivity and belonging among members. On the other hand, open access communities are open to anyone who wants to join without any restrictions. Scale-free refers to a network structure where a few nodes have a large number of connections, while most have few connections. Democratic and coercive are not relevant to the description of online communities.
