We moved from GitHub to Gitlab and the rate at which new contributors found the project effectively halved. We had a Matrix at some point and one person used it. The reality is you have to pick your battles.

Gamers 😤 For what it's worth, more users, especially on a gaming-related project probably the effort providing basic support faster than it increases contributions.

The network effect is a real problem tho. Hopefully ForgeFed & Gitlab implementing ActivityPub will help with this. Same with OAuth with GitHub as the SSO provider.

Bridging Matrix seems like the best of both, but takes a lot more work.

I'm a purist, so if I see a project uses Discord, I'll immediately start looking for viable alternatives.
