> I wrote this blog post because I noticed that there have been more newcomers on the Common Lisp Discord Even CL people are using Discord now? People really do seem to love to converge to a single place.

Unfortunately as all the interesting stuff disappears when the server closes. I know it can be remedied, but unfortunately it's not standard. Especially for CL this is crappy as a lot of things are still valid and working 10 years from now but the discord server is long gone.

#lisp and it's offtopic channel #lispcafe at irc://libera.chat are far better. Also, comp.list at Usenet.

  Did you mean comp.lang.lisp ? Because that's the usual convention, like comp.lang.c, .python, etc.

    yes, I made a typo.

My go-to community for Common Lisp has always been and likely always be the #commonlisp channel on Libera IRC. The community formerly existed on the #lisp channel (if I remember correctly) of Freenode for several decades. It migrated to Libera after a controversial change in Freenode management in May 2021. Webchat link for #commonlisp: https://web.libera.chat/#commonlisp https://web.libera.chat/#commonlisp Further, the on-topic #commonlisp channel on Libera comes with a cozy off-topic channel named #lispcafe for general chit-chat about any imaginable topic.

Except Discord servers cannot be described as "a single place" even, as they're all isolated from each other. Instead of spread out across multiple open IRC networks/channels, developer communities converged into silo'd, closed/proprietary Discord servers. It's a shame.
