  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?

Responses seem to have stopped now, so here's a summary.

There were 35 responses - thanks!

## Prefer
1. IRC:        15
2. Telegram:    9
3. Discord:     7
4. Matrix:      4
5. Slack:       3
6. Mattermost:  1

## It's OK
1. Slack:      16
2. IRC:        14
2. Telegram:   14
3. Discord:    11
4. Matrix:      9
5. Mattermost:  3

## Dislike
1. Discord:    15
2. Slack:      14
3. Matrix:      6
4. IRC:         5
5. Telegram:    4
6. Mattermost:  2

## Never used
1. Mattermost: 29
2. Matrix:     16
3. Telegram:    8
4. Discord:     2
4. Slack:       2
5. IRC:         1

Looking for the positives, if I award 1 point for "prefer" and half
a point for "it's ok" then:

## Arbitrary scores
1. IRC:        22
2. Telegram:   16
3. Discord:    12½
4. Slack:      11
5. Matrix:      8½
6. Mattermost:  2½

However, opinions seem quite polarised about some. e.g. if we also
deduct a point for "Dislike" then:

## Arbitrary scores including haters
1. IRC:        17
2. Telegram:   12
3. Matrix:      2½
4. Mattermost:   ½
5. Discord:    -2½
6. Slack:      -3

I will take a little time to consider these results.

Thanks,
Andy
