FAQ:

- Discord it is a chat service similar to Slack in that it has channels for different topics.
- it is not 'official' - it is just one of the chat services you can find other racketeers on.
- The Racket community also has a significant presence on [Slack](https://racket-slack.herokuapp.com/) and [IRC](https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/#racket).

For those wondering, at the time of writing:

- Discord has 174 users **online** in #general, with 989 **registered** (according to @spdegabrielle)
- Slack has 1607 users **registered** in #general, not all of whom are online/active (difficult to get)
- IRC has 130 users **online** , with many more registered

Obivously, "currently online" numbers will fluctuate a lot with timezones, and "total users" is totally different than online/active.

The Racket community is quite splintered it seems. 😟

I prefer to think of the :racket: community as diverse 🤩
