Was wondering if any of you would like a Discord server for the community or would it be worth waiting a bit?

    I think a time will eventually come where we should introduce a chat group… but only once we’ve saturated the available bandwidth that this core community provides. Until then, we should focus on directing conversations into community text posts to drum up activity & interest rather than hiding them with a sidechannel.

    FWIW: when the day does come, I’d rather we don’t use Discord. Part of my aversion to Discord is personal – I think it’s a bloated and annoying application – but I mainly just don’t feel like it’s apropos to Lemmy’s culture. We’re on a federated FOSS community, so let’s keep to that and use a federated FOSS chat protocol (i.e.: matrix).
