snowflake_challenge, Day 13 prompt:
TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY SPACE YOU LIKE. It doesn’t need to be your favorite, or the one where you spend the most time (although it certainly can be). Maybe it’s even one that you’ve barely visited. But talk about that space and how it helps support fannish community.

Much like innitmarvellous mentioned in her post for this prompt, I don't really do fandom community stuff anymore, either.

I mean, I could bring up my days when I was part of (and, in some cases, ran) various email lists, Yahoo clubs/groups, message boards, and LJ communities for previous fandoms, though most of those lists and groups have been inactive for years at this point and some may not even exist anymore.

I could bring up finding solace in the creation of the #elementasquee tag on Tumblr after the show Elementary was announced and it was hit with a buttload of negativity (mostly from some people in Sherlock fandom). And while I've found some cool people on there more recently, I just...feel like an outsider over there compared to the early and mid 2010s. (And that's even without me being involved in any of the "Big Three" fandoms of that time.)

While I'm in some Discord servers, only a couple of them could be (at least IMO) fannish, but I'm not sure Discord is my favourite way to do fandom community. (One of them moves SO FAST.)

There are Reddit subs, but... I dunno.

Twitter (I refuse to refer to it as the 24th letter of the English alphabet), Bluesky, Instagram? I follow a few fannish music accounts on Insta, but...no. The other places are also a hard NO in regards to fandom for me; I don't really use them for that purpose (I did a little bit for Twitter many years ago, but not now).

Even though I firmly believe there is nothing wrong with not being an active participant in a fandom community, it still feels jarring and strange not having something there for a thing when you want it to be there.
