With the elimination of messaging here on GR, I've decided to explore other options should Amazon continue its GR cutbacks. I'm not leaving GR, just diversifying.
My first attempt at a new residence is LibraryThing. Importing my library and reviews was easy, but the format is different and maybe a little daunting at the moment. If you go, feel free to contact me there: same screenname, same avatar.

Yeah, not loving that aspect. All you can do is like a review or report it. You can message the reviewer directly, which could be awkward. You can follow them or send a friend request. But the only way to get a group discussion like on GR would be to form a group to discuss it, but who wants to form a group for every book they review? Alternatively, you join a global "discuss this book" group which would be chaos if you've got 1,000+ people who've read the book.
I don't know if there's a way to search for existing members. The only way to randomly find people seems to be similar libraries or scrolling through individual books that you know that that person read.
Yes! The two options you list seem overly familiar (a personal message?) or overly distant (a thread of multitudes from ages ago?).
