Private slacks, private google groups, private and close knit email lists will always make for better sharing and discussion. I suppose by their nature they're much smaller too.
The one thing social media could do very well that these cannot, but still consistently fails at, for some reason, is discovery. How do I find the other literati nearby? How do I know who the next great addition to the secret slack might be?
- collyw 9y agoI actually find Facebook reasonable for that (though I am trying to quit). There are pages for relatively niche groups in your city or country.

I found the same thing on usenet years ago, and it was much more discoverable compared to the private options you mention. But I did need to use some degree of client side filtering to handle the junk that would be posted.
