So let's start by working out *why* it failed. I don't see any point
in having a vote, which comes up with the conclusion that (say) people
like Discord, if we then set that up and there's no-one on there. If
we were to ask the question, why did people stop logging into Zulip as
part of their daily sign-in routine (or why did they never even start
doing that), what would the answers be? Mine would be simply "because
no-one was there". More specifically, even if people were there, there
were no conversations going on.

That certainly sounds like the most reasonable explanation.

Explicitly making it more of a social community (while still allowing
that we're all technical so casual technical questions still count as
social ;-)) might make a difference. As might a deliberate effort to
keep people engaged. But just choosing a new tool and hoping people
like it enough for the community to "just happen" seems destined to
fail.

It was proposed that people list in a public place the timespans where they can make themselves available on a chat system. That would certainly help people gather and discuss together synchronously, if they are willing to.

Antoine.
