Consider this my vote for one big long chain letter, sent by post, where we draw little pictures of computers for each other and photocopied preprints with notes in the margins. I don’t even think I’m kidding! (in all seriousness, Discords have a whole host of bureaucratic concerns that can take an outsized amount of time and effort to organise — like ongoing moderation needs, especially. godspeed to all who facilitate a Discord! you are braver than me.) kat brewster On Wed, 18 Dec 2024 at 17:28, Joly MacFie via Air-L <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> wrote:
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://urldefense.com/v3/__https://beeper.com__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvS... - 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but I would imagine that this group would probably hold a strong consensus that group email threads and listservs is an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information.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:

Last but not least, here's an interesting article about the applications

Discord for better digital community practice:
