So it's very good. Those to me are the best ways to stay connected to the RPG community on independent platforms.

Find the platforms that serve you with software that serves you, software that is designed to give you what you want and not get in the way. And all of the ones that I'm recommending here are all services and software that are distributed. You can leave them. You can export your stuff from them. You can move from one to the other.
