Ive used discord, trying to run away from it
If anyone wants to chat im down my contact site lol (idk if thats self advertising)
Hey I'm here for it. Thanks for the link--I'll add you to my feed.
Why not IRC? I mean, if you want private conversation, then that's not your place. But for a community? Not sure I see a huge problem with it. I love the idea of XMPP as a better IRC, but I never found a place to hang out there. What do you think?
Mostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.
Lemmy is my go to when I have downtime and want to mindlessly scroll but Iβve been really into making things lately so Iβve been on GitHub for fun trying to understand how other projects work.
Discord for games with friends, and for a couple niche pieces of software too small for forums.
Lemmy for broad-appeal topics like world news and less niche tech.
And Im not sure if it still counts when I just lurk now, but Reddit for everything else, since none of it moved over to lemmy. Gaming subreddits, more niche tech, history and accedemic topics, local and lifestyle stuff, ect.

Mastodon mostly
Well...
Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)
Woah I've never heard of discuit before. Looks really cool. How long have you been on there?
Since the reddit api exodus. It's a small community, but feels very tight knit. It's also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.
I second Discuit. It was started in response to the Reddit API shenanigans last June. It seems to have avoided the spam and instability that have plagued Lemmy (at least so far).
I refuse to click on the reddit link the creator posted describing what discuit is. Looks like a non-federated appless Kbin?
It's a centralized Reddit clone. Ad-free, at least for now. Supposedly the creator plans to open up the source at some point in the future. There's at least one app I'm aware of (Diskette for Discuit).
