If done right, I think that I would be interested. It's hard to get people active in a niche network compared to a Facebook group or a subreddit, but certain features could make it worth it. Here's one geeky network I recently came across that I think is executed well: https://gemr.com/

Shameful plug (hope this is ok, this is my first HN comment), but I'm also working on a "social network for geeks" but is more specific to developers and designers: https://codebee.io/ It's a big hurdle to keep users active but it's a side project and haven't been able to devote a lot of time.
