The thing is that a lot of the people who made those communities got sick of the racism and invasions and said "fuck it." There are a few astronomy forums out there, and I've not seen them under their reddit names. I'm wondering if more of the people in my age range took a step back and said to themselves "I'm too old for this nonsense, life is too short, and I have real life hobbies that I can focus my time on." AstroMike is gone, Bubbleweed no longer posts to reddit, the guys who got me into webcam astrophotography all gone. I'd love it to tears if I could be a part of the building of a good, decent, space community here.
