I wouldn’t classify all Town Hall meetings as “dirty laundry-esque.”
The most recent Town Hall that I considered hosting (but then decided not to for various reasons) was “hey everyone in the Berkeley Community, how are we feeling about coronavirus, and are there community-wide-norms we should be adopting?”
In that case I do expect there to be some drama (due to disagreement), but it’d be the sort of drama that you have in an Actual Literal Town Hall, which feels more appropriate to be public, to me.
