- sukhadatkeereo 9y agoI'm working on Knowledge Trybe (https://knowledgetrybe.com https://knowledgetrybe.com) -the focus is on Psychology, History, Creativity, and Learning.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoSome Reddit subforums are good. Just avoid the front page like the plague.

- TaylorGood 9y agoFerrariChat. Subscription area is a brain trust of car guys. Been on there for like fifteen years. Immeasurably valuable.

- raguuu 9y ago/g/ of course. Surprised people are afraid to name 4chan despite it being on I'd the most visited sites on the internet now.

- adrift 9y agohttp://boards.4chan.org/g/ http://boards.4chan.org/g/
- Amelorate 9y agoSmall thing to note: While a lot of intelectual discussion does go on in /g/, the board's culture does often encourage misleading information and trolling. Browsers of reddit and Hacker News are often called out and ridiculed, and a number of technologies are dismissed based on being ran by "SJWs". If you can filter out these things, /g/ does have a lot of discussion, but it is very different from Hacker News.
- cholantesh 9y agoEvery board has this issue, and the UI makes it difficult to follow the discussion. If you're not in it for silly greentext and a half hour (at most) of bantz, I think it's an uphill battle for quality. It is better than /biz/, though, which is just MLMs and bad crypto advice it seems.
- potta_coffee 9y agolainchan.org has pretty good programming conversations. More civil and higher quality than any of the other chans I've visited.
