I started an online community with web-based forums in 1998. Initial idea was to have conversations about everything, in a forum where assholes could be expelled. We had meetups in San Francisco, Memphis, Amsterdam with dozens of people. The rise of social media diminished the population, and those who have stuck with it are, well, 26 years older. So I don't think it would appeal to younger folks, but anybody is welcome to try.
