Interest in Discord?

[mulceber]

No, not the antithesis of "harmony." My work has transitioned to using the social platform Discord for internal communications, and it seems like a neat platform with a lot of possibilities. Since it's quite popular with a lot of people in a lot of different fields and hobbies, would there be any interest around here in a flight/leather jacket themed Discord channel? I've never made a server on this app, so this would be a bit of a stab in the dark, but it could be a fun way for us to communicate in new and interesting ways. Or it could just peter out into 1 or 2 people checking in once a month.

(And if the answer is a polite but firm "not interested," I won't be offended. It's a bit of a pipe dream.)

Let me what Discord is.

Check the link in the second sentence of the original post. It leads to the Wikipedia article for the app. Basically, it’s a messaging app.

Chat rooms?

I use discord a lot, including for work.
But... my English is so bad, my accent so French, it's going to be tricky !

IMHO, Discord is akin to social media and as such would dilute the main forum.

I do use Discord a lot, but I must say you are not wrong on this one, I've seen it happen quite some times. That being said, I think if you want to go for in depth reviews, long run topics like "what jacket are you wearing today", things like that, the forum will still be a better place.

And on the other hand, I know I've refrained from posting things I would have gladly shared on a Discord chat room that I had found too trivial to create a post in here.

So yeah, definitely worth a try!
