Hi Bastien,

Yep, but I do think it’s good to have a few promoted places, ideally based on
FOSS services. Not to start another tangent, but this is one of the reasons why
I think discourse could be a good idea — as a FOSS replacement for reddit,
stackoverflow, etc.

Sounds like we’re on the same page.

Mmm, it doesn’t have the same role or supplant the ML.

I hear what you’re saying, I’m just not sure how much of an issue this actually
would be. My initial suspicion is with a this issue would be small to
non-existent.

With a matrix client you can peek in public rooms without joining them, and
<https://view.matrix.org/room/%21rUhEinythPhVTdddsb:matrix.org/> currently
exists.

I haven’t tried this myself yet, but it sounds quite promising! I’d be
interested to hear how you find it.
All the best,
