The main problem that I see with these platforms is that the perceived 
ease of access means that there are a lot of low quality questions 
without any follow-up from the OP.

We use Slack at work. It's OK, but then it's not a public forum.

I recently tried using the ARM Discord server. There are many channels 
and the busy ones are flooded with noise. I don't find it to be a good 
way to communicate. There is a Discord server for the macOS Valgrind 
port, which is even quieter than IRC.

I also use Mattermost which is fairly good. It's used by WG21 for C++ 
standardization.

It seems like what I'm saying is the better ones have restricted access. 
That wouldn't be much use for Valgrind.

A+
