Sums up my experience growing up
@ilovecomputers I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

Any recommendations? :)

I agree that the web is usable and pretty nice using RSS to follow blogs. I also love blogs with a comment section with the same community of people discussing the topic.

What I miss somewhat are dedicated web forums that are active. Something like Head-fi and Steve Hoffman's forum for music.

I wish for forums like that for other topics, as well.

@mutkitta @triptych @ilovecomputers Not sure whether it's possible, but what if we could use our Mastodon accounts for forums?
@hackillu @triptych @ilovecomputers I think some people are working on using the fediverse for "universal" comments for podcasts. That's one of the podcasting 2.0 features I'm looking forwards to. If it ever gets implemented :)
