@websick @raccoonformality @schrottkatze zulip looks pretty good as well and is public & searchable. most importantly i think it should not close off the content. giving you the option to host & migrate elsewhere, using an open protocol with different implementations, things like that are really helpful in ensuring that the lore stays online and accessible
