I'm not keen on reddit for such conversations.

Also, I'm less concerned about GitHub going away than reddit becoming
very messy. And a lot of language activity already happens on GitHub.
Maybe the issues of https://github.com/perl/PPCs are not a terrible
place for such conversations? After all, PPCs are about the evolution of
the language.

You could always link to the PPCs issue conversation from any forum
(reddit, blogs.perl.org, etc) if you want to reach a larger audience.
