Where else do you hangout?

[Mark Prosser via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

I was chatting with some industry colleagues recently and I realized 
that various sectors of our industry are not "online" in the spaces I'm 
online.

Perhaps there was a time when most of us were on mailing lists & IRC, 
but now the communities seem fragmented and behind walled gardens 
(Mainly Discord and Slack .. the latter is deleting our messages faster 
and faster).

Personally, I'm subscribed to several discord groups (including NANOG), 
several slack groups, a few mailing lists, IRC (I'm not on that often 
these days), one or two Matrix groups, IETF Zulip...

This quickly becomes cumbersome and I find myself mainly in Packet 
Pushers & NAF Slack groups -- while being "reachable" in other places. I 
feel like I'm missing out on conversations outside of the few bubbles I 
participate in.

Where do you spend most of your time, outside of this mailing list? Why 
do you like it there? What kind of folks hangout there?

Warm regards,
