For what it's worth, I don't think email and listservs are "an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information. People have been saying that for twenty years. But, to the contrary, email and listservs are an easy and reliable way to share important information, and are usually preferable to the proliferation of sites for this or that kind of conversation. -- PL It's Real Life <https://vocal.media/fiction/it-s-real-life> -- free, new alternate history short story about The Beatles & WFUV, now being made into a radio play On Wed, Oct 26, 2022 at 11:08 AM Roo S via Air-L <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> wrote:
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but I would imagine that this group would probably hold a strong consensus that group email threads and listservs is an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information.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
