what are platforms you sciency people use to communicate?

i ask because Bonfire is a free libre open source project proposing a federated social media approachqand it seems cool… but i can’t join the pilot program since i’m not in a school or such organization.

Idk what’s already in use though so this is a joint shoutout and a question. Like, what way do you use to chat about nerdy stuff rn? Does this Bonfire.social project fill a niche you’re missing alot in?

It looks like you can host your own instance from the link that you posted, so you don’t need a school or external organization. It might be worth trying.

Otherwise I feel like stackexchange and stackoverflow have been useful to me, although it’s not quite chatting.
