Currently, I've been on http://reddit.com/r/MLPLounge a lot (which is why I've been less active on PMS, in fact). It's a pretty nice place. The folks there are even tolerant of people who don't masturbate to cartoon horses.

Eh, I had the slowly dawning realization that all other web communities are fundamentally the comments section of a news article. I just don't get involved anymore.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

In the sense that the intellectual content of the discussion is low, or that all the discussion is on popular stories instead of broader or more personal issues?

Its so hard to find one that is just starting up, I'm so slow at finding new things as they come. If you get to one that is well established it's hard to feel like you can finagle your way into and be accepted. Otherwise if you find a small one that is at the end of it's run there isn't anything to do cause its you know...dead...
I want...to be in a good one but can never find one, then they all fade after a while anyways...

Milt, the other white beverage!
Just PMS, Reddit, Facebook.
I browse Reddit but I'm not sure I particularly participate in it. But I'm definitely pretty active in the #MTBoS, which is the MathTwitterBlogosphere (particularly math ed).

Wouldn't a "Twitter blogosphere" just be a "twitosphere" or something? Or do you mean a community of both long-form blogs and microblogs?

Right. It's a hybrid of the long-form blogs and short-form Twitter discussions.
