In response to Chris's question, here are some thoughts on creating slowcore-friendly spaces for long-form online discussions.
Call me a boomer, but for my purposes I still haven't found anything that measures up to the design of old-school phpBB forums.
For ongoing, slow-paced, text-centric, long-form convos, and community-building centered around shared interests, I think they're excellent.
I don't have the tech chops to handle setup + maintenance alone, but I've been a co-founder of a well-loved and active phpBB forum before, with me handling the community migration/moderation duties and my colleague handling the back end.
Unfortunately that forum came to an unceremonious end for reasons beyond my control. But if some cypherpunks I trust were to say:
"We'll build you any kind of space you'd like for Studio Slowcore to migrate your group chat to a new home. We'll handle hosting and tech support, and we'll work closely with you for business continuity planning and minimizing the risks of single points of failure."
Assuming we had sufficient revenues to sustain it, then I'd say "Great. Let's go with a phpBB forum."
See the first link for an example I found on the phpBB showcase page.

That being said, @adam- recently shared a GitHub page with some screenshots from Campfire (see the second link), and the design looks promising enough that @trigs.eth and I seriously considered it for our studio.
