LessWrong has a Slack group!
Slack is a communication tool, to exchange and discuss about various topics. The LW Slack looks like a chatroom and works like a chatroom, with emphasis on topic-centered channels to enable multiple discussions running in parallel at different paces.
To join us, please send a message to LessWrong user Elo with your email address.
There is also an active Russian group at http://slack.lesswrong.ru/. It is all in russian.
