8000 people? Is it like a forum with many threads and topics going on or is it really like an IRC chat room with 8000 people in it?
Is this the biggest react community? Is being on Discord something they prefer to being on reddit or perhaps a forum?
- madeofpalk 11y agoI exaggerated a bit - they have 7656 at the moment (after being 'shut down'). It was the mostly-official place to discuss react, flux, webpack, other tech and libraries in the react ecosystem etc. In it's peak, there were lots of channels for all the different parts and facets, including geo-oriented channels as well. Now, its mostly just the dancing shark gif http://i.imgur.com/I2CBRBZ.png http://i.imgur.com/I2CBRBZ.png
- pbowyer 11y ago> 8000 people? Is it like a forum with many threads and topics going on or is it really like an IRC chat room with 8000 people in it? I'm a member of the UX Slack (https://www.designerhangout.co/ https://www.designerhangout.co/) who have ~6k members, and it's pretty active. It's a cross between a forum and IRC, and (from a user perspective) fails pretty badly because of it :) A major reason is Slack's limit of 10000 messages per free Slack. So conversations get lost within 2-3 days, there's no way to find them unless you've starred them. With no threading discussions don't happen well - there's a lot of noise (like IRC) which can't be filtered out. Summary: No way to organise/archive knowledge (same q's again and again); noise of IRC interspersed w discussions, Slack's hard limit of visible messages.
