I prefer the forum model to ask questions and drive discussions.

It is fully asynchronous, you don't need to wait for answers in real time where in a real time chat, all this information is lost in a few moments.

Some chat apps like Element are working on chat with threads so it’s like a forum in a chat. There’s a proof-of-concept on develop.element.io https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2349

Element doesn't work in Goanna-based browsers and has not the same speed as a forum.
