I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I feel ya! That was a strategic cut because it (Connect) was really hard to maintain, but I also really loved having live chat available right here on DEV. For anyone curious, the announcement we made about cutting Connect can be found here on forem.dev (our community around the Forem community platform).
Communities like ours that are primarily asynchronous and work really well for long form content generally pair well with synchronous chat platforms. I do think there's a future where we integrate with existing chat platforms like Discord and/or Slack, but don't exactly know when we'll be able to put our focus on this.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
