Wouldn't it be nice if we could talk about Linux in the Linux
newsgroup?

We do, occasionally ;-) but this group overlaps with
alt.folklore.computers as a social medium for septugenarian nerds. Much
of that chatter would probably be better in a group of its own, but then
our fellow auld farts would never find it.

Quora has mostly lost the good guys due to bad housekeeping and
overblown monetization. Maybe BlueSky can get there?

I occasionally read another forum that's on Quora.  I considered
replying to a thread, but then I saw that button labeled "Do not
sell my data."  That means that if you forget - even once - to
click on that button while replying, whatever personal data you
give them is theirs to do whatever they want with.  There's no
way in hell I'll ever register on such a forum - they'll just
have to do without my pearls of wisdom.

I agree! That's revolting! No light:ish trolling to make everyones day from me either! ;)
I keep to usenet and 2 mailinglists I enjoy, and that's about it. Oh, and mastodon for the occasional meme-party, but there are about 2-3 regular people there I discuss politics with, and not much else. Too bad they won't join us around the camp fire here on usenet! =(
