On a personal level, I am no longer sure engagement with such a community is a net benefit.

I am simply treating LW as a 120+ IQ version of Reddit. Just generic discussion with mainly bright folks. The point is, I don't know any other. I used to know Digg and MetaFilter and they are not much better either. If we could make a list of cerebral discussion boards, forums, and suchlike, that would be a good idea I guess. Where do you expect to hang out in the future?

I'll probably spend less time hanging out in online communities, honestly.
