Hello everyone,
I see on the internet that there are a lot of people looking for an IRC channel for ParaView, showing that there is a need for a chat platform. So I have created a [`#paraview` channel](https://discord.gg/VQuFMa) on Elmer’s Discord server. You are all welcomed to join and invite the rest of the community. Looking forward to talking to you all there.
Best,
Foad
P.S. there is also a [chat room for r/flossCAD subreddit](https://s.reddit.com/channel/300896_dfacaa912e069e3d3f7e55e5cedfb25483d8d68a) if you are a Redditor 🙂

Hi @foadsf
Noob ParaView AND Discord user here, sigh.
This invite link appears to be dead & I was just wondering if you could suggest another way in…
Thank you for your time
