I have done my research on the community in recent days, and I must say that I am not disappointed.
First and foremost, I had a positive experience with Telegram, which has 11.9k members. The administrators are prompt and clear in providing answers to members' questions. Usually I notice that activity tends to decline after the initial launch period, typically lasting a month or two, but this is not really the case with Stacks. Additionally, I have encountered numerous scam calls and chats in almost every Telegram group I have joined. It is disheartening to see scammers targeting active projects, but unfortunately, it has become a regular occurrence for me. Almost on a daily basis, I encounter such scams when I post a question in any group. A great thing to see is that the Stacks group on Telegram has a significant number of contact persons who can communicate in various languages (refer to image 1).
Regarding Discord, it appears to have a substantial membership base of 41.5k. However, despite my attempts at verification, I have been unable to join the channel. I am unsure if it is an announcements-only channel or if there is an issue with my access. If anyone has any information about this matter, please let me know.
YouTube, with 16.7k subscribers, serves as an excellent source of information on current and future developments related to Stacks and Bitcoin. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the concept; however, the number of views on the videos is somewhat disappointing. Nonetheless, I recommend checking out their videos HERE.
On Twitter, Stacks has amassed 154.4k followers and posted 7,299 Tweets. Although these numbers might seem substantial, considering the channel's existence for almost 8 years, the tweet count is quite reasonable. The average views per tweet are around 5k, although I am uncertain whether simply scrolling through the tweet counts as a view. Most of the content can be read from the main page without the need to click on individual posts. You can find a detailed progress review by Blueseriph, which chronicles the project's developments over the years and offers an awesome explanation as to why the project has been around longer than the Stacks founding date.
Stacks also maintains an active presence on Reddit, with an account dating back to 2010. I believe this might be either the owner's account or a cleverly launched account right after Bitcoin's inception (joking lol). The activity on Reddit is commendable, as it ranks among the top 10% of all channels. The posts are frequent and relevant.
AMA's and events are other avenues where Stacks can be found. Their most recent AMA took place on Twitter on February 27 of 2023.
In summary, I must admit that I am not overly impressed. Nevertheless, they maintain a consistently active community engagement, which is deserving of a four-star rating. They provide regular updates across all channels (excluding Discord, which I cannot verify at this time), participate in events and AMA's, which is also commendable. Show Less
