You might want freebsd-chat for general discussions of
non-technical topics.

<p>The original link, which did interest me, (thank you, David) <i>di=

have a technical slant (open source), however it was not directly
related to FreeBSD or the FreeBSD community. <br>

<p>Re: <a class=3D"moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href=3D"https://wiki.freebs=
d.org/IRC/Channels"><https://wiki.freebsd.org/IRC/Channels></a>,
#freebsd-social is notionally for off-topic/socialising, however
when I was last there it was frequently used for technical
discussions that should have been better in other areas. Technical
knowledge shared there is lost. <br>
</p>
<p>The lobby at
<a class=3D"moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href=3D"https://discord.com/channels/7=
27023752348434432/727023752348434436"><https://discord.com/channels/72=
7023752348434432/727023752348434436></a>
is social, added benefits (not seen with IRC) include threading.
So it can be easier to find the social chat without the technical
non-social chat. People do choose to take themselves away from the
lobby, to more appropriate channels =E2=80=93 please see, for examp=
le,
this screenshot that can't be attached because (contrary to the
rules expressed in the FreeBSD Handbook) some emails are never
delivered. <br>

rix.to/#/#FreeBSD:matrix.org"><https://matrix.to/#/#FreeBSD:matrix.org=

more open, and Matrix/Element threading is debatably superior to
Discord threading, however there's encouragement to keep things on
topic (to FreeBSD) in this FreeBSD room.=C2=A0</p>
