Forced Social Engagement:

Slack and Discord are garbage user forums.

Got that right. At least use a proper forum.

@jack I also think this is related to how younger people prefer more social things to forums and email

@hjertnes Maybe, but it depends on what it's for. For support or longer-term discussions, forums are IMO objectively better. If you wanna just chitchat all day about whatever, then Discord it is! :)

@hjertnes @jack What about Discourse, it seems fairly decent from using the one for MB?

@pimoore Discourse is far and away the best option I've used. Ignore @hjertnes, he's grumpy :)

@jack @hjertnes I’m grumpy too, my first coffee from this morning no-call-no-showed so this second one better work. :)
