There's still fun hacker spaces out there. The Playdate community is a really fun space because it's mostly non commercial and people just making stuff for the love of it. [0]
The raspberry pi community is also in the hacker space, I think the shortages and the price of the newer products hurt it some but I'm sure the spirit will come back. [1]
Overall I'd say that people spend too much time on the internet and it's effectively a full time job form them but with no breaks, which of course leads to burn out/disappointment. [2]
I'm rambling at this point but maybe there needs to be a hobbiest hackernews or something.
[0] When most stuff is priced $10 at most and they're are onyl at most 100k devices on the market, there is not much money to be made.
[1] I'm still disappointed there is not much of a gamedev/creative software community around the raspberry pi.
[2] And when you read about angry sad things all day because that's how Merchants of Despair keep you on their sites. Well it's hard not to feel angry and sad.
