I assume you're referring to starting a Signal chat. I do use Signal but I
don't think it's anything like a Discord, and a lot of people simply won't use
it and even if they joined a Signal chat they would leave when it was
distracting them. There is a big difference between the way people use Signal
and Discord, and Discord is a much better match for what the Sudoroom
community needs.
Of course there are already a bunch of Sudoroom groups on Signal, some of
which i'm a part of, but they're hidden except to people who are in them, and
no history is kept. Signal exists to protect private conversations, and
community-building requires openness.

Let's get it started! We can email usernames/phone
numbers around until the
group snowballs. Anyways, I haven't come to any hardware hack nights last
year either since I'm an undergrad.
As an extension of that, we could revive BACH <
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/BACH> by making an inter-hackerspace
Signal, which seems more conducive to involvement than the current Discord
bridged setup.

Ethan now that I think of it a big Signal chat
would be pretty cool.
That’s how a lot of other groups do it. Let me ask around - not sure I can
make it to hardware hack night this week (moms in town)

What happened to Noisebridge's BBS? I don't like that they have a Discord.
Even a giant Signal chat would be better than that at times.

Oh wow, so we can use something else? Is it
really hard to host it?
For me I don't want to chat so I don't even want to use turtles. I'd
rather have a bulletin board, the way that Noisebridge used to have.
Is there a good BBS that's easy to host (I work a full time job) so I
don't have time to do it all...
