What is Discourse? Love the name of anything that references gives a nod to The Dialectic but I'm cautious...

An old style forum service with a modern twist, made by one of the founders of Stack Overflow

Specifically its co-creator was Jeff Atwood, who is also the writer of coding horror and recently posted a pretty good endorsement of Mastadon and other non-twitter services.

He was actually one of only a dozen or so people I followed on very early twitter, before losing interest in the bullshit on there by 2010 or so and moving to Reddit.
