What are some communities where philosophy is discussed by competent people? (so not Reddit, Yea Forums, etc)

University/academia
I meant public internet forums
I have everything figured out, so I don't need to waste time prattling about philosophy to you imbeciles.
blogs run by academics
Keep wishing lol
If you find the right discords you'll find a lot of philosophy majors and/or people that have an informal background in philosophy.That being said, those people are very belligerent and are all about being on top. Plus almost any conversation degenerates into epistemology.

Why? Isn't that the place to discuss such topics?
What other platform allows people to scream at each other "IS THAT A TRUTH CLAIM?" or "WHAT ABOUT THE MUNCHHAUSEN TRILEMMA?"
Coming from anecdotal evidence I'll tell you that Professors don't want to be questioned or have their core beliefs criticized. It might be because of ego or because they don't care about what you think or maybe it's something else that has nothing to do with what I mentioned. If you're really critical or creative most of them won't give you their time. They aren't there to talk to you. They're there to teach.
Something close to what I'm typing to you could be said about college students. Those are people that have a very fragile understanding of the subjects they're just learning about. What do you really expect by talking to them? Solid perspectives on something they barely digested?
If you really want to talk about philosophy just casually bring it up whenever you're talking with your friends or acquaintances, but do it in a way that is accessible to them.
Or might be because you have 0 social and communication skills so they don't wanna talk to you
Just use Stanford Encyclopedia. University is legitimately the only place you can discuss philosophy with competent people. Yea Forums and reddit focus too mich on the history of philosophy rather than the actual concepts and when they talk about concepts they end up sounding like Alain de botton. Don’t use school or life, use Greg Sadler if you have to use videos.
Hardly could be the case, but I won't dissuade you from thinking otherwise.

imagine having to use charts, graphs etc to keep up with the art of verbal sparring
The best philosophers of this generation are all schizo timecube-esque ramblers who nobody will seriously engage with in any way, carrying on one sided conversations with the void
