Are you using #github for #FOSS ?
Small request: could you use FOSS instead?
Don't make #Microsoft your gatekeeper, use like #forgejo #codeberg or something.

Thanks to @conservancy 's @karen , Denver Gingerich and Bradley Kuhn for the #FOSDEM talk.
@conservancy @karen
And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.
I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.
So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.
I hope that changes one day.
@dcz @conservancy @karen xmpp is probably the best solution at this point, matrix is garbage and revolt is proprietary, xmpp is the best solution imo
@v0idness @conservancy @karen Personally I've had good experiences with #discourse and #phpbb (that dates me, doesn't it). Also IRC for ephemeral stuff like basic questions. Let's face it, not all history deserves to be saved.
@dcz @v0idness @conservancy @karen yeah Can +1 for discourse.
This thread is mixing chat platforms and forums though.
Any other should have a forum of some kind, with a chat (discord, matrix, xmpp, irc) being an optional side thing
@thibaultmol @v0idness @conservancy @karen The world is mixing chat platforms and forums.
What's Slack? What's Zulip? What's Mattermost?
How are people using Discord? At least Bevy has some long-running threads with long-form posts.
This needs to be acknowledged and the reasons understood, because otherwise it's hard to find a solution that's both good and looks familiar to the people who use the above now.
