Pine64 forum vs other channels

[treebuilder]

i think young people use chats, and older people use forums.. this is why you see more "noise" there, and less here.. and since we are mostly ancient, we have more experience too, so you see here less "activity", compared to those kids

I think the largest benefit to not using chats is that information is easily accessed asynchronously.

I don't have time to monitor matrix/discord/whatever all day every day on the off-chance someone says something useful.

I have these for channels I care about to search for stuff in: http://xnux.eu/files/chatlogs/

Quick grep for anything and no need to watch the channels all day every day.

So thanks a lot for your comments there. I took time to follow the Mobian chat, it's quite useful to get support as people are quite helpful and to learn about new features coming soon. It looks like people also update Wiki when something useful is found.

The pinephone channel itself is also interesting but quite a lot of people there, so a lot of time is needed to read all the messages.

In the end all these means are complementary from what I can see and anyone can pick up what better fits his needs.
