Any proprietary interface or message database is anathema to honest communication. And even if they currently have benevolent commercial policies there's always the possibility of another twitter-style regression. Moguls love communication platforms and always have, from Randall Hearst onwards,

/ simply don’t watch it. Don’t blame the medium. / I'm sorry but I have to disagree. The way that discord presents the information vs a forum style or even Facebook style is, to me, very very distracting and hard to communicate across. The constant chatter, distracting graphics and

This dislike of “Discord” has touched a nerve for me. It’s also one of the reasons the cctalk list has lost most of it value. Discord is a collection of channels most devoted to specific subjects that you more or less subscribe to. It’s just a server and you need an invite to join a group.

We've got a standby list of about 10 people so far. Did you fill in the table reservation Google form that Jason sent to this list a couple weeks ago? Feel free to bring things and there's a chance you might fit in. There's some options we're exploring. Patrick Finnegan On Wed, Aug 30, 2023,
