Perhaps this question is too difficult to find. We never had these
problems with Usenet back in the days of Deja News. We need it back,
ASAP.

lol. The mass marketing of social media has ironically made it more
difficult to concentrate like-minded souls who ask and answer
interesting questions, even as nutcases can find each other and self-
reinforce their nuttiness. Wish I knew the answer to that. I've
debated people (in my obscure line of technical work) on twitter,
linkedin, fora etc. about the value of twitter, linkedin and so forth
for answering technical questions. I maintain the mediums make it hit-
or-miss unless a small group of motivated individuals take it upon
themselves to make it otherwise. Un- or low-moderated fora tend to go
downhill as gamification (points, badges, thumbs up/down) get
implemented, as people care more about popularity than veracity.
Mailing lists and other highly moderated fora tend to attract control-
freaks and wind up with cabals (that's certainly nothing new).

We have been cursed with living in interesting times. Let us know if
you find a place that gives answers, I've long thought these issues
ought to breed walled off communities (I see it in some technical
communities). Such communities often define themselves by who they
exclude, like any good clique.
