(i) Do anyone knows where that would be, or you know specific Discord servers? I would very much like to see how younger generation talk about tech, programming

it is a more decentralized pattern as each server has specific focus but they tend to have also "general discussion" / "off topic" kind of channels. people compose their own collection of servers they frequent slightly different decentralization patterns on matrix and discourse so the tech/programming discussion is very much alive, but the entrepreneurship angle quite a bit less so...

Here are a few STEM focused ones I'm in. Note, that much of the content (due to the younger age demographic) is people asking for homework help and such a lot of the time. Funny enough, that has died down now with the advent of ChatGPT. Equally, I've met many field experts who hang out in these groups too and people I've eventually become friends and colleagues with: Furlough (Great Startup Community): https://discord.gg/furlough https://discord.gg/furlough Science and Math Association: https://discord.gg/Yqf9GGjV https://discord.gg/Yqf9GGjV Mathematics: https://discord.gg/zZ94XYkt37 https://discord.gg/zZ94XYkt37 Control Engineering: https://discord.gg/mPwkRJKG https://discord.gg/mPwkRJKG DIY Tech: https://discord.gg/diytech https://discord.gg/diytech Computer Vision: https://discord.gg/4BXczxNJwK https://discord.gg/4BXczxNJwK Adafruit: https://discord.gg/adafruit https://discord.gg/adafruit Better C++: https://discord.gg/e3aXc2xUWr https://discord.gg/e3aXc2xUWr Python: https://discord.gg/python https://discord.gg/python Unity Discord: https://discord.gg/unity https://discord.gg/unity The Programmers Hangout: https://discord.gg/programming https://discord.gg/programming The Coding Den: https://discord.gg/code https://discord.gg/code Game Dev Network: https://discord.gg/gdn https://discord.gg/gdn Developer-Ecosystem: https://discord.gg/deveco https://discord.gg/deveco OpenAI: https://discord.gg/openai https://discord.gg/openai Makers HQ: https://discord.gg/QWtd5Z6N https://discord.gg/QWtd5Z6N

I have been on some of these Discords. Do you remember the comments sections on torrent links, where people ask questions about things that were already explained in the torrent's readme? Discord is like that; people don't bother searching and ask the same things over and over.

It's very sad they hang out on a hostile platform that exhaustively monitors its users though. It will cause a big generation gap because I won't join them there.
