I’m just getting into it myself, the fediverse seems more like what I’m looking for in terms of social media/forums. Usenet is good for binaries but there’s some interesting discussion there too

Thanks for the list. I was wondering if there were any non binary groups still around in this day in age. I don't think most of the users really understand what the "Eternal September" was really like.
