Is anyone aware of a forum where consensus algorithms are discussed? A mailing list, subreddit, or website?
I found a Raft mailing list a while ago, but I'm looking for a place for a more general discussion, where real experts hang out.
Or Howard's blog post: https://hh360.user.srcf.net/blog/2019/02/towards-an-intuitiv...
Twitter used to be a useful place for general distsys discussions, but I haven't been around for a few years now so I'm not certain how much still takes place.
This tweet, for example, I would have expected to see more people chime in on.

There's a distributed systems theory Google Group, but it appears to have completely died off:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/distsys-discuss
To inquire what avenues for theoretical discussion are currently active, I would suggest reaching out on Twitter to Chris Meiklejohn (cmeik), Michael Bernstein (mrb_bk) or Kyle Kingsbury (aphyr).
