Is there one platform that is representative of the community though?

If there is a tool that can aggregate data from multiple sources, and
the work necessary to set it up and maintain it isn't a blocker, that
would be a good way to go.

It isn't quite _whatever_ even now. "The Planet is a place for
expression of many ideas related to the Fedora Project". Whatever
platform is used, it'll have to be quite advanced to filter posts based
on criteria that someone sets up to keep the output feed focused enough.

Is this a platform issue either though? Irrespective of what we use,
we'll have outdated input sources that will need to be cleaned up from
time to time. We've just never had a policy in place for a planet clean
up.
