Is there something like a HN discord or less anonymous social media group where you can casually talk to others interested in the same things you are? You know.. hacker news type stuff. My platonic social life has been almost non-existent since 2020. I'm not looking for a date. Are zoom events still a thing in 2024? I am on twitter already. I have no idea how long I have been reading this website, at least 5 or 6 years. I live in the North East U.S. and I am in my early 30s. This might sound weird but I would love to meet other people who feel like they are a failure in life or are unsuccessful career wise but who haven't given up and want to do creative interesting things. I am interested in a lot of different topics in tech, science, and culture. I have tried to join a few different non-profit projects or public domain related things but nothing has worked out. I would love to work on a project with other people if I could find something that was a good fit. I am way less pessimistic than I am making myself sound.
