I’m an old, but if I was in that demographic I would probably launch a Discord space (or tenant or server or whatever they call it in Discord parlance).

Slack could be an alternative. Not sure if teens are used to that though? Perhaps Matrix could be another alternative, but the UX there can be quite confusing IMHO.

I've visiting communities like HN since I was less than 10, in BBS.

As in you would call in using a modem? I’m old enough to fit that bill, but I never managed to find a friendly BBS, haha. At least that way my parents didn’t get any astronomical phone bills.

After mid night it was like 0,10 cents until 6AM, that's how I became a night owl for life

Wow! I’m not sure what our rates was in Sweden but IIRC our cheapest rate was at least 20 times higher than that. (In the 90s.)
