I know Jul is a little inactive lately, but maybe you still like this place? You want to interact with the folks here more, but the threads just aren't coming? Well.. One option would be to make some threads yourself. The best option, actually. But if you're not feeling up for that, the second best option is to join the chat. (Also, these options aren't mutually exclusive.)

Anyway! We chat on IRC, which, if you don't know, is a decades old protocol supported by every computer, phone, and Nintendo DS out there. If you know the drill, the server is irc.badnik.zone, channel #x. If you don't, and this is new to me as well, turns out the ancient Java applet has been replaced at some point in the past few years, so you can just click "IRC Chat" up in the header to be led to a web client. You'll be joined in #x and #tcrf automatically, both are good places to be in, so stop by and hang out!

By the way, just a tip. If you join say hello, don't quit after a few minutes just because nobody replies. We don't sit at our computers 24/7 ready to chat. But if you stay for a while, or bring up a topic, you'll be for sure met with replies eventually. So, keep the chat window open!

I know this thread may be a bit redundant, so please recognize if it's not for you. I simply felt like giving people some explicit motivation. The chat is there and a lot of us are in there, so please give it a shot if you haven't, or stopped at some point!

The way I usually IRC is by just having it open in the background constantly and by flipping to it occasionally to see if anyone's said anything since I last looked. Chances are, I'll come home from work and there's a wall of text waiting, and even if the conversation happened an hour ago, the log is still there and fresh so chances are, you'll be able to throw your comments in and a couple of people might respond, etc.

It's just another thing you can do that doesn't really have a modern equivalent. Twitter is the closest thing to it, but even then, that's public and not good for actual discussion, let alone realtime discussion with multiple people.

It's also nice to have discussion media that aren't owned and controlled by megacorporations.

I don't know if Discord is, but it requires auth to a central server. IRC is entirely autonomous.

If it's any consolation, I forgot, too.

Maybe some day I'll look at the other pull requests.
