Poll for chat users and non-chat users

+2
−0

There is a link in the right hand panel (or bottom of the page on mobile) to "join us in chat".

Chat is an entirely optional extra, but I'm curious about one thing, so this question is intended as a simple poll to gather information by voting on answers.

Some people are users of Codidact, but not of chat, while others are users of both. Since Codidact is open source and non-profit, while chat is currently not (being provided by Discord), I can imagine 3 groups:

  • People who use chat.
  • People who do not use chat because they have no interest in chat.
  • People who would be interested in chat but avoid Discord.

Maybe also a 4th group:

  • People who do not use chat because they were not aware of it.

If you are in one of those groups, please upvote the corresponding answer, or add it if it does not yet exist. I'm hoping that answers here will be a single line for voting on, to get an idea of numbers. If you want to discuss details of whether we should have chat or who should provide it, feel free to raise a separate Meta question for that discussion (rather than an answer here).

I'm curious whether the choice of Discord is an obstacle to people joining chat. If everyone is either already chatting or uninterested in chat, then replacing Discord is very low priority. If some people would like a way to chat but aren't comfortable with joining Discord, then the number of such people gives a measure of priority.

It's brought up more than I had anticipated. The answer about Matrix was particularly interesting, as it wouldn't require a separate sign in account (like Discord does) and wouldn't require Codidact to build something.

(I know Matrix has been mentioned before, but I didn't pick up on the fact that it didn't require a separate account that time, so I've still learned something new.)
