I'm 30+ too but only started clubbing around 2019 and maybe it's my lack of experience of how things used to be, but I think it's pretty fun still for the music! Having said that, I think you might be able to find the experience you're looking for elsewhere because Spark's dancefloor is so packed that there's hardly any space for interaction. Especially once Blink gets on the deck - you can forget about moving laterally anymore.
Pitt Club might be good in terms of space though!
From what 🦀 said, after thinking about it, I probably should wait until the software matures - either with improvements of front-page algorithm, or ability to minimize a community's exposure to the whole fediverse. I can definitely see moderation being a huge commitment if at least those two things aren't implemented yet. I'm not a big fan of creating threads due to limited searchability among other issues. I'll sit on this one and deliberate further. 🤔💭
