Campfires or similar events, ideally lubricated with limited amounts of alcohol, possibly a pipe or cigar depending on wind, going late into the night on evenings when nobody has anything in particular early the next morning. In the winter or smoke season, the same thing can be done indoors, but it's better outside, IMO. It's a far wider, more interesting range of discussions at one of those events than I've found on the internet, and I'm trying to figure out ways to have them more frequently as opposed to the once or twice a month that's been standard for the past few years in my social circles. There are some shadows of that in some Signal groups and Matrix rooms on private homeservers, but mostly those are spawning things to discuss next time we get together in person. I don't know anyone who "posts a full range of their thoughts" online anymore, except in fairly well secured private encrypted chat locations, because of just how toxic the whole place has become.
