Is there a replacement for this room? I am not very familiar with Discord, but I couldn’t find an equivalent channel. Should we redirect users of https://gitter.im/scala/moocs to the scala-users Discord channel?

Traffic in the old room was so sparse that I don't think it matters.
Rather than take the existence of the old room as a precedent and starting point, I would suggest starting over and asking: do you want a room, is there a need for a room, will somebody involved with the MOOCs monitor it?
The old room got very little traffic, so I personally don't see a need for a room unless you're prepared to publicize it and make efforts to send people there.

Same question here, maybe we should create a scala-center channel?

Well, up to you guys, but I would say no unless the Center has someone who is prepared to monitor it. The old Gitter room was not very active and even when someone did ask a question there, it often wasn't responded to.

I'm going ahead and merging this based on Seb's approval, but further edits remain possible, of course! |
|
(Though the PR is merged and the issue is closed, I'm still working on the checklist. Gitter only lets you export one room's data every 3 hours.) |
The sidebar on https://old.reddit.com/r/scala does not appear to be updated. I don't know reddit well enough to know if that requires a separate change. |
Fixed, thanks! |

fixes #1256
there is also previous discussion at https://users.scala-lang.org/t/can-we-have-an-official-scala-discord-server/5157
The official go-ahead to do this from the Scala Center is #1256 (comment) ; so we're only looking for feedback on details, not on whether the changeover is happening at all. (Almost everybody has already voted with their feet, anyway.)
