    I've had to dismiss several potentially-useful projects for this reason. In fact nearly every FOSS project I come across has no open platform for discussion.

    Sometimes there is a Discourse forum but those are just awful from a UX perspective, and even then the devs rarely reply to anything there, mostly leaning on GitHub.

    Its maddening, isn't it? They can write what's often a full stack web facing application and they can't spin up and host some pre-rolled forum VM? I have one in my laundry room and I'm the most amateur sysadmin ever.
