You can join a commentariat

I learned a new word today – “commentariat”. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it refers to “members of the news media considered as a class,” while Merriam-Webster instead says it is “a group of powerful and influential commentators.” I heard it more informally applied to the group of people who actively comment and participate in discussions in a particular online forum. Charming!
