I suppose Senior developers, my self included, enjoy fast paces straight to the point learning resources. One of my favorite websites is https://egghead.io/ https://egghead.io/ but some people do complain about behind a bit too fast. Overall, there is heaps of great tutorial on youtube. If you're looking for an online community mostly you'll be facing many people who are learning how to code. I would choose a specific software and look for paid/free courses that have a community on slack/discord. Regardless of your age, sometimes changing the company you work with can help a lot because you'll on the hunt for other companies using modern stacks. You could also try to convince your company to adopt new tech. Do not be afraid to join younger communities, there days people don't really care about your age as long as you have things in common and a beginner spirit.

I do agree with your general point and I clicked, hopefully, and... Oh, yikes, video! No I want my learning resources to be a lot faster than videos. Books are fastest, sadly they're often out of date by the time they're published these days. I said "these days", I think that qualifies me as a grumpy old man.

I think the OP is talking more about community rather than pure learning resources. It's not like you need different resources at 50 than you do at 30. It's just fun to shoot the shit and compare war stories and strategies with one's peer group, I guess.

I enjoy fast, straight to the point resources as well, but I was disappointed to learn egghead.io seems to be all videos. Not fast enough for me when I can't jump into it and skim for the useful parts: why, oh why did the videos win? Aside from personal, non-egotistical mentors (so you can interrupt them to move on to more interesting things), I still find "boring" reference docs the best.
