You can set up a USENET group, either in the conventional hierarchy, or
under the alt hierarchy by either tosing out there amongst the hoards of
USENET servers out there, or hosting your own with leafnode or similar.
Interesting discussion here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/7xnymz/run_your_own_server/

You could set up a web BBS or forum, with a web server (your own or a
web hosting provider such as nearlyfreespeech.net), running a PHP based
or similar on the web server.

See

One forum I frequent, as do others here, is linuxquestions.org

A internet/web forum can be as simple or as complex as you desire.
