He’s not, the idea that links to

> **[Where Tech Companies Build Communities](https://www.discourse.org)**
>
> The customizable, scalable community platform powering over 22,000 communities. Create knowledge through conversation.

> **[Discourse Demo](https://try.discourse.org)**
>
> Demonstration sandbox for Discourse
