joshlemer commented on issue #3236: gitter community channel? URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/issues/3236#issuecomment-406758752 @gianm @leventov just because you don't personally like to use these tools doesn't mean that others don't find them useful. I personally participate in many gitter chats including those for the Scala and Rust communities, and including apache projects like Beam and Spark (Beam has a slack channel on the official apache slack instance, and spark has many gitter channels). While many questions that go on in these channels are beginner questions, that's fine. And at the same time, lots of very senior people in the community hang out in there and talk about very advanced topics. IRC is terrible for online discussion because you can't see history, you can't share code, you can't see who has seen your messages, there are no avatars / connection to identity, etc etc etc. At least consider the fact that multiple people have asked for it, which implies a much larger amount of people who would use it but haven't asked.
