I wish there was a place for high quality discussion on any topic. By "high-quality" I don't mean super serious and polite, just intellectually stimulating. Early Quora was a bit like that. I also used to visit a non-English website with a blog section that was amazing - wide variety of mostly smart people with memorable personalities and diverse set of opinions. There were heated debates on various topics, humor, technical posts about some niche field and a specific atmosphere, it felt a bit like a small-town pub. It was not an echo-chamber like most places today, probably because there was no comment voting. Little to no moderation. I still remember a lot of the people, which I can't say about HN or Reddit.
