I occasionally read comments that seem to imply there are other places on the Internet where the Stack community has discussions. Other than the occasional Medium post I'm not aware of these.

After the drama/exodus on Ru.SO, which happened earlier and is unrelated to the current CoC/ads/Monica events on SE (but which shared the same root problem of administration disregarding community), some Ru.SO's users migrated from the official chat to an unofficial Zulip chat.
Anyone interested can find the link in profiles of some of top users of Ru.SO. (I'd rather not include the link here directly to avoid accidental visits, as most MSE users aren't probably interested in a Russian chat.)
We got tired of administration removing Meta posts and chat messages, so we found a new place where we can discuss SO without censorship.

Regular question-and-answers are also commented on and discussed, e.g.,
Hackernoon has mentioned it
Dev.to also has some articles on the site
