A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

My journey has been very similar to yours.
I just don’t feel comfortable anymore taking photos where you can clearly identify the person.
IMO it’s more challenging to take a compelling photo this way anyway so I feel like it’s making me a better photographer
So weird. I took a break from photography (not that I was ever any good) after my daughter was born, but going back, I realised I no longer feel comfortable taking pictures of people without consent. Previously, I was all for taking photos of people as long as they were in a public space.
I often wonder if this shift in my thinking is due to becoming a dad or if it's just me getting older.
