Greetings Johannes and previous posters to this thread. I think the discussion needs to be split in three parts:
1) The official discussion area for project discussions and decisions. In my opinion, for better or worse, this is still the mailing lists until something better has replaced them. For me I am happy to use discourse or any other platform that is agreed by the PSC by direct decision or by putting it to community vote. 2) Which chat / other platforms we allow. In my opinion we should be really open and allow communities to gather on whichever platforms they want to, be it FB, Telegram, Gitter, Revolt, Stack Exchange etc. We basically have no control over this anyway and being open means also tolerating the fact that people assemble and form subcommunities on platforms that we don't necessarily prefer. 3) The status of 'official' chat platforms and their discoverability. For these, we should grant 'official / endorsed' status, have them listed on our web site, they should have clear contact points for moderators, be allowed to use the world 'Official' in their name, be generally limited to one per platform (e.g. the Official Facebook QGIS Group) and enforce things like our code of conduct and diversity rules. I think trying to police or control things beyond this is largely pointless as we cannot as a project dictate how and where people choose to collaborate.
