Well then, we really stuck with this... But, I have a thought
What do you guys think of slack chat? I joined a slack chat group and it seems really useful, far more useful than irc, especially given few members.
It's more like a real time forum. When you log in, you can see all the posts that have ever been made (and you can have subchannels to keep things separate), but posts update as people make them.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. It is a rather pleasant interface though, lol.
I wasn't thinking of it as a reddit replacement, but more of an irc substitute. Didn't realize you had to pay for it, but it makes since that you do.

Yeah, a member suggested Slack too. Looking at it, it does look fun and stuff, but then again, the free candy vans look fun and stuff too.
We need to just grind our teeth and set up a telegraph channel and deal with all of the troubleshooting (and thinking too, Brian) that goes with it. Weekend project for me, probably.
Create a Telegraph channel to replace sots IRC.

Because it seems that it'd be easier to be active with telegram. Plus action.

Why not? Seems like a good enough idea.

Does telegram require a cell phone number? I had to use mine to sign up. Anyone know how telegram is decentralized exactly? Can it have anonymous?

I don't know know what telegram is. I hope I don't need to go buy a telegraph to use it though. My morse code is a little rusty.
At this point the vote is unanimous though! ...

Oh, lol... Looks cool. I'm not very picky to be honest.

Slack is a commercial platform not concerned with decentralization, NSA-proofing, etc. so I don't think it's a step up from reddit, except that paying for a platform, they wouldn't censor us.
