I have discord and rocketchat but I try so hard not to go there because it literally sucks away so much time! The great conversations, the learning opportunities and just hanging out with cool people... Before I know it, my day is GONE. sigh Adulting sucks.

Thanks for the Steemit Talk Podcast Discord mention! :D
While we may not be active in the voice chats outside the podcast recording times (typically Saturdays @ 8 GMT) we are there in the text channels.
But during the week, you'll find us in Steemspeak voice chat :P
