I also prefer chatting on the forum than in the Telegram or in Discord. I do not know how anyone but me so familiar. All the same, the thread on the BTT is more convenient and familiar to me.
Since you think a lot of users. The forum is really more convenient for communicating with like-minded people. This is probably the perfect option. Social networks have a slightly different purpose.
For me, too, the forum is more convenient for communication. It is interesting to communicate with people in the thread MAGNET because they have common plans, ideas, goals. They are all interested in this project, they believe in its prospects and are interested in development.
