I think there’s a huge advantage towards having a general channel that can be used to communicate at all times of the day and not only when the formal meetup happens.
It’s infrastructure that can be valuable long after the initial organized meetups.
Yeah. We do have a Facebook group and slack channel for this, and the slack channel is barely used. But I could believe it would be valuable if it was used (it offers different affordances than Facebook, which is why we bothered to set it up). Discord is similar to that, and would be more likely to get used if it was also used for the meetups.
Hangouts worked fine today, but we’re leaning towards trying discord for next time.
