It's very topic/interest specific, not a general forum: Green Building Advisor.
Also, I have some private email groups in which I only have thoughtful discussion with people I know and trust (though don't always agree with).
I don't know if any general paid forums though.
- tombert 5y agoThere's Something Awful which is fairly general and charges a one time fee, but it's much more poorly operated than HN.
- zozbot234 5y agoSA used to be in a troll war with the old Slashdot.org tech forum. 4chan was a later 'spinoff' built by a Something Awful user, and taking much of its initial community from there. Given these facts I've never thought of Something Awful as especially free from toxicity.
