I too like email, and have had issues keeping up with several platforms at once. However, it can be good to filter some conversations into their own channels. Personally I've always found Discord somewhat convoluted. The multichannel platforms I see working well for groups are Slack and Telegram. What has been an absolute boon for me is installing Beeper https://beeper.com - reads all my groups and IMs (except Slack) and works on all my devices. Finally I actually can deal with Discord, too. Recently I have been getting 'address not found' a lot, when emailing aoir.
Why is that?

Hello!
I'm wondering what AoIR members think of building a Discord? I realize that there are several platforms out there, and ironically we all are probably "too close" to some of the failings and/or opportunities of community, communication and digital space, but I would imagine that this group would probably hold a strong consensus that group email threads and listservs is an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information.
I'd love to connect more deeply with anyone who's interested. Here's a brief/simple survey to help me follow up and/or learn from the group: https://forms.gle/zbxmg5433r7LctKf8
Last but not least, here's an interesting article about the applications of Discord for better digital community practice: https://www.newkinco.com/projects/anitya-metaverse-platform
Looking forward to connecting! Roo
