Holy smoke!! I have so many old documents to read now.

Does anyone want to form an ACM Cool Papers Club?

At some point, a professor was retiring, and he had about 200 issues printed of the "ACM Transactions on Graphics", an entire book shelf. I asked and got it. The years he had were the 70's and 80's, when 3D graphics were research and transitioned from "how to render a line" to "stochastic motion blurred hyper-surface photon tracing". I used to read them as entertainment. Amazing stuff.

Everything older than about 20 years has been open access for some time so you should have started earlier!

I'm totally down for that. Maybe a discord server or something?

What an irony to celebrate open access on discord!

Chat for free, but some private channels & access to the weekly discussion call require Server Nitro 3000+

Can recommend some alternatives?

Discourse, mastodon, email... there are probably plenty of options. It's more missing a leader than it is missing a platform.

		None of those are anything like Discord. Mastodon and email aren't even realtime and don't have a voice chat. When I asked for an alternative, I was asking for a suitable substitute for how Discord is actually used. Until the open-source community produces an actual viable alternative, people will continue to use Discord.
