Hi,
Instead of quitting one could try IRC combined with the Matrix protocol bridge. This creates a very low threshold to ask questions (IRC on liberal.chat), while keeping the possibility to interact later even on the phone with the Element app.
It would require someone who is doing the setup and ideally also maintain for more than three weeks. Though if someone really wants to do it and there is actually a use for it, why not.
Well we could ditch IRC and bridging entirely and go for Matrix (and ML + github) entirely. I'm using Matrix for personal communication lately and I'm amazed. I have setup a home server and also experimented a bit with scripting bots.
In my past experience, key developers aren't even participating in IRC anymore so it's next to useless for me. I wouldn't give up on an "social" option yet where you can also discuss non-technical topics from time to time but I'm not attached to IRC really.
Best regards.
