I personally vote for irc. Perhaps via Libera.
Perhaps I'm too much of an IRC noob, but I still found it it rather surprising to be banned from libera.chat (my IP is blacklisted) for pasting a 25-line build script for building GHC via hadrian on FreeBSD into the #ghc channel. This was in response to a discussion about issues with the bindist, how the port is built, ... and while perhaps I'm expected to use a paste bin, the abrupt ban was rather a harsh response. The ban appears to have been "temporary", an hour or so later I am able to reconnect, but this does not leave a good impression. -- Viktor.
