Transhumanist discussion forums
The following page aims to provide a comprehensive overview of transhumanist discussion forums that may be found on the internet.
The largest by numbers of participants is Facebook. As outlined on list of Facebook groups, over 100 transhumanist groups may be found, featuring from a few dozen to over a thousand subscribers.
A great entry place to basic transhumanist ideas and technology news - often via dedicated news pages, more organised and focused activity can be found if you're willing to put in the effort.
Reddit hosts some of the largest transhumanist and futurist discussion forums on the internet due to the platform's comparable general popularity and accessibility. There does not appear to be much organised or activist activity, with again the focuses being on digesting technology news, as well as transhumanist philosophy.
De facto transhumanist forums can be found in a number of futurist spaces.
