Was wondering if any of you would like a Discord server for the community or would it be worth waiting a bit?
I also suggest Matrix instead of Discord.
I’d honestly rather keep things open source and get a Spacebar chat server set up. I don’t think it’ll be long before Discord goes the way of Reddit.
Do you know how to set up Spacebar?
At the moment I don’t think any of their build info is openly available. But I could probably help with the set up once that does become available. Do you happen to know anyone willing to host though? That’s going to be the question.
If we want an open chat service, I’dd look into Matrix, which is federated like kbin/lemmy. Its also a work in progress, but it does support both text chat and voice/video chat. And it does have rudimentary “spaces” which lets you group channels and such, which makes it easy for people to discover the channels in our community.
I’m going to suggest Matrix (or an old school IRC) over Discord at this point. No reason to direct from lemmy back to a closed commercial ecosystem.
No. Discord hosts anime communities already. I see no reason to create another Discord server since we have our place here already.
