Community Directory

    Industry Signal Chat Directory

    Open, member-driven spaces for the MSP and channel community. Stewarded by community leaders.

    This directory makes community Signal chats easy to find and easy to join. It's built for MSP operators, vendors, organizers, and anyone working in the channel. Every chat listed here follows the same shared community guidelines.

    Why This Exists

    A few simple principles guide every chat in this directory.

    Shared Stewardship

    Admin access shared across leaders from multiple communities so no single person, company, or brand owns the space.

    Inclusive by Design

    Open access by default. Event chats welcome non-attendees because sometimes the chat itself is the connection.

    Member-Driven

    Light moderation, no self-promotion, lots of cheerleading for each other.

    Community-Agnostic by Design

    The chats in this directory are not owned by any single community. Leaders from MSPGeek, MSP Community Live, CyberDrain, /r/msp, and others help create, run, and moderate them so the space stays independent and useful to everyone in the channel.

    Community Chats

    Ongoing, subject-focused spaces. Jump into whichever ones fit.

    Channel Chatter

    General channel banter, news, announcements, and cross-community conversation. The town square.
