Damn. I meant to finally join Discord just for this. Forgot about it for a few too many hours.
So it’s IRC with a fancy interface?
IRCOMGLOL
Basically, though Discord has made a name for itself for being an excellent choice for various communities to use. There’s a lot of useful controls for admins, good voice chat, and they’ve made it dead easy to share pictures, gifs and videos, etc, etc. The web version is great as well.
I’m not sure how much i’ll end up participating in the BB Discord group, don’t see what the point of it is right now but i joined just in case.
@frauenfelder darn, went away for the weekend and missed the invite. I get the slow grow thing but would really like to be included whether now or the next round.
Was Discord spun up by @codinghorror off of Discourse to make it more Slack like? Or is it just concidencidentally named similarly?
At first I misread the title and thought Mark was spinning up a third discourse for BoingBoing.
Good Ol’ IRC. The channel was setup by Mustardhamsters back when he was here.
Typing into little boxes on your computer screen!
Forgive an old guy asking what is probably a question with an obvious answer, but is this where a person could learn people’s opinions about things like “when is something cultural appropriation and when is it just dinner?” and “when is it an innocent pass, and when is it sexual harassment?”
Any more invites for the Discord coming soon?
Maybe? I just don’t know anymore!
