You can also reach us at our Telegram group (while we don't have a decent group chat application fully working on Nostr).

Telegram really has captured quite a role as a functional forum / irc channel.

Discord too.

I wish people would use open tech like matrix more. It's perfectly suitable for this also.

I don't mind Telegram so much but Discord wants a lot of personal information through its PC client. So I don't really use it even though some open source projects unfortunately do (like Home Assistant)
