Some ideas below. Idea #1: Join the WELL. Seriously, this, for your OP, might be closest. Conferences [1, 2] (each of which can contain many long running threads on particular topics) somehow related to tech include the following: ai.ind, biztech, cloud.ind, internet, linux, macintosh, mastodon, media, mobile, networking.ind, podcast.ind, radio, science, softare, telecom, vc, web, webservers, welltech, windows Idea #2: Join the Indie Makers [3] community on Skool, as launched 51 days ago on Hn at [3]. This will be more about communicating about what you and others are actually hacking, on probably. Idea #3: Whatever your tech niches are, they may have a community somewhere. Too bad if it is not just a "general tech discussion" location, though, as the niches do seem sort of silo'd and focused. Slack, Matrix, email-based mailing lists, and RSS feeds (of blogs, websites, podcasts, etc.) are several "places" the OP does not list. Tech discussion on focused areas does currently often seem to be on Discord, Slack, or Matrix, usually linked from whatever the central company or technology is that is focused on it (as linked from that entity's profile, website, page, Linktree, etc.).
