Yeah, I think it’s hard (and maybe not worth our resources) to build one space that fulfills all of those criteria. I think it would be fun for the Forum to have a more casual space, but there exist many other places that can fill that need:
The EA subreddit
EA Anywhere’s slack workspace and virtual events
EA Gather (a virtual space to hang out and co-work)
The EA community on Twitter
The Effective Altruism Facebook group
The EA Hangout Facebook group
The EA Corner Discord
Personally I don’t use any of these very often so I don’t have much opinion on them.
