For technical topics I agree with everyone else that they've moved online; probably not Zoom or whatever other video things, but more text based chat rooms to facilitate technical discussion. Depends on the tech, I guess. One thing that confounds me is that physicality-based meetups in my region have moved entirely online and show no indication of changing despite miniscule chances of disease. Look, I didn't join a yoga meet-up group to spend half my time trying to focus on my 13" laptop screen while balancing on one foot. I didn't join an escape room group so that I can play a shitty $3.99 Android game together while staring at everybody else's faces on a 13" laptop screen. I didn't join an animal husbandry experience group for us to sit inside and talk about what we did or will do. Remote is not the future if you move beyond the bits. Disease is not a factor unless you're too feeble to be doing some of these things to begin with. This exaggerated fear shit needs to stop.
