Just got this e-mail from a regular on this blog's old comments section:

Several of us have gotten together to start up a discord server in place of the former comment section. I understand if this is too much a conflict of interest for you to be involved in!  But if you could pass the word to at least some of the old regulars we’d appreciate it:
hey join me on Discord! Invite expires in 7 days. https://discord.gg/PtkqKjxp

Happy to spread the word. Go to it! I have no control over it, but it exists.
