[Air-L] AOIR Discord?

[Dr. Emma Briant]

I’m inclined to agree with that. Different forums are great for different
purposes. I’m actually a bit reluctant to have many more apps on my phone.
If I do decide Twitter is no longer working for academia and there’s an
exodus of academics then I may move but my experiences with forums for
sharing set up elsewhere, such as slack have not been great. People use
them for a bit then don’t bother to continue.
