Read 'The Will to Believe' by William James

There have been plenty but they always gas out after a few weeks. It's just difficult to get people together consistently for a long time, especially anonymously where you can't rely on social pressure as an extra motivator. So they either fall apart or get sequestered to places like discord where it is easier to organise.
I do wonder if it could work for journal articles however, given how short they are. One a week in a recurring general. The major worry is that articles aren't appealing to anyone who isn't already interested in the subject, or even to most people who are interested in the subject. So the initial pool to draw from would probably be too small to sustain anything.
