@thenexusofprivacy probably the biggest item there is "connecting with like minded people" — like news & current affairs are great, but I could get that by subscribing to their newsletter. What I can't get is commentary by my peers on those things.
An extension of "connecting with like minded people" is "... and feeling safe whilst doing so"
