Let's translate that to ``the experts are not here''.  The experts who
are in social networks seem to be a minority, so I conjecture that most
experts are off the radar, perhaps waiting for something better.

Changing subject, perhaps the USENET isn't good for the expert either.
Experts likely enjoy talking to other experts, so perhaps today they
need their own semi-closed conference system such as e-mail because the
USENET is far too open.  (I, for example, use a semi-closed NNTP
system---for local conversation.)

I believe communities should effectively not be too large and that is
very likely true for technical subjects.  So perhaps the USENET is no
good for the expert.  I don't consider myself an expert and I think I'm
still here because the USENET is currently pretty small.
