Hi,

This mail is about BitFolk's customer chat which is currently the

IRC channel #BitFolk on Libera, and maybe expanding it to other

chat platforms. If that doesn't interest you then you can safely

just ignore this email.

I realised recently that despite there being around 45 actual people

present in BitFolk's customer chat, for a while now it's been

basically silent.

I'm prepared to accept that it's become an idle zone, but if it's

the case that people are chatting elsewhere then I'd consider going

where the users are before giving up on it.

So, if you do actually engage in online chat for any projects or

communities please would you fill in this short questionnaire to let

us know about it?

I've intentionally made it so that it doesn't capture any personal

details and requires no sign-in, so please don't abuse it by

submitting it multiple times. 😀 If it still bothers you that it's a

Google property then you can just email me your thoughts off-list.

I'm not planning to close down the IRC channel as I expect the

people who idle there do so just so that they can ask what is up if

they ever need to. There isn't any actual chat there though, and I

don't see that changing now.

I'm also not promising to set something up on whichever platform

comes out top (this is not a vote!). It would be very interesting to

me to find out where people are, though.
