Can’t speak to that directly. But I've messed about a bit with their webhooks 
and I’ve looked at what people do with bots and at their bot API and my sense 
is: 
you can literally build/do anything to extend Discord.  So maybe that opens 
possibilities on this front.

Thanks for chiming in y'all. I think that at the end of the day we also
want to meet people where they are and, for open source communities, it
seems that this discord at the moment.

I had a quick search on the internet about accessibility and screen readers
for discord. It seems that they used to be terrible but are getting better
at it. Can anyone confirm?

Hi!

I used mattermost as an open source alternative to slack but it didn't
impress me too much. And you have to manage your own server if you don't
want to pay the subscription fee

In my experience discord did always great job

Cheers

Hello!
I’m a harsh judge when it comes to picking software tools… especially if I’m 
about to bring others in on it. 
I’m also a software developer myself and have experiencing building and running 
chatting/communication websites and apps. 
And I’ve been experimenting with and evaluating Discord for a major community 
project for the last 4 years. 
I may be preaching to the choir but…

I find both the product and company to be amazing.
It is a deep and powerful platform.
And it’s a total joy to work with.
And many times over the years I’ve secretly wished that it could do X,
only to receive a “Whats new?” where they are introducing X.
Just 2 weeks ago they introduced Forum channels 
which is a total game changer. 
The Forum channels are perfect for the threaded question/answer/feedback stuff 
that happens here.
Also been playing with Stage channels for live audio discussions which are very 
fun.
It all “just works”.  

I’ve spent almost no time in other Discord communities.
I generally find it overwhelming.
Just enough to steal some good ideas.
But as a tool for creating “my own” community…
It’s been perfect.

I so wish we could have a one chat application we all agree upon. I was
thinking about this and I believe the most important deciding factor for us
should be accessibility. We are a radio project after all and we need to
make sure that our documentation and communities are welcoming in that
regard. I will enquiry about this.

Hey,

Amazing work, though it probably won’t help me (unless we define a track 
title, and a cover art haha, though probably in reality, I’m not a 
direct user of that ;))


I still am not running on 2.x on some instances, gotta go there…


* We have begun planning the next liquidshop workshop!

One exciting development on this front is that we are planning on
using liquidsoap to run it! We have a workable proof of concept that
we are looking at solidifying for the workshop. Date should be around
January. If you are interested to speak, you can start thinking about
it. We're also looking for beta testers for the liquidsoap-based
presentation code!



Count on me, I can try the presentation demos. I don’t plan on speaking, 
and will most likely won’t have time to prepare anything precise, but 
will participate and enjoy the community moments (depending on how soon 
we know the date, you can count on me hosting with you, should you want 
that ;))




* Leading to the workshop, we'd like to consider moving off of the
slack platform.


[snip discord]

Discord sux, and is closed source. Why not go for gitter.im if you want 
it hosted? I even think they natively allow matrix federation, so you 
get that as well, but I may be wrong...
