I closed my Twitter account when Mr. Elon Musk bought the platform, and similarly many users left to Mastodon, Bluesky, and other platforms. I thought Google Groups would be a good option as it does not require to configure an extra account as other technologies do (e.g., Slack, Discord, etc.).

I am willing to organize events to talk about R and socialize over pints or pizza.You can join the group using this form.Below is the group description.Goal: to have a space to ask and answer R questions. No R preference dominates this space. Questions can be about base R, Tidyverse, data.table or anything in the wide R ecosystem.Code of conduct: No bullying, hate, or rude acts of any kind. What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.Community over Code: A strong, diverse community matters more than the software itself, because a healthy group can always improve bad code.Earned Authority (Meritocracy): Influence and decision-making power are earned through active, public contributions.Community of Peers: All individual contributors have equal weight in discussions, and hierarchical corporate structures do not apply here.Openness and Transparency: Technical discussions happen in public view on this mailing list so everyone can participate conditional on the code of conduct.Neutrality: Discussion about problem-solving, need for a new package or others are independent of any single vendor or corporate sponsor, protecting the long-term public good.To leave a comment for the author, please follow the link and comment on their blog: https://pacha.dev/blog.R-bloggers.com offers daily e-mail updates about R news and tutorials about learning R and many other topics.
