IRC: simplest way of communicating online, and a bouncer can be availed for free

Forums: great store of knowledge and friendly, helpful people. If you ask a question in discord, nobody will ever see the answer again.

Halloy seems to be a popular choice on desktop. Goguma on android according to https://libera.chat/guides/clients
