Lawyers, platform moderation, and SEO have wiped it out. What’s left is boring drivel whose only purpose is to sell you a product or a course or avoid a lawsuit. I realize some have moved to private groups and there are still sites if you look hard enough. But is that enough?
Federation feels like the right place to bring that culture back rather than let it die or has that ship sailed?
I still try to find forums for this type of thing. Social networks, lemmy included, are terrible for this type of communication. Content drops from view too quickly and you can’t possibly see everything across every community where somebody posts something relevant.
I wouldn’t try to fit this particular square peg where it doesn’t fit.
