Discord Alternative

I spent the last few hours looking for a Discord alternative.  They are generally horrible.

For just posting, we have this forum.  But the problem here is that almost no one is listening here.  The reason that the Discord server worked is because I could advertise it, so we could get people to join.  This won't happen on this server.  And it won't happen on any stand-alone forum or chat.

So my suggestion for a Discord alternative is Twitter.  What are the issues with Twitter?  Free speech and lack of response.  Regarding free speech, I was inspired by this post.  Twitter seems to be moving in the right direction.  Regarding lack of response, I joined Twitter and posted and got no response, so I just quit.  But if we use Twitter as a group and follow each other and respond to each other's posts, then Twitter can work for us.  And then other people can find us and we can get some traction there.

I encourage everyone to think about what makes sense.  This can be our main topic for the meeting.  We can discuss this in this thread, and then in the meeting we can decide what to do.

My initial response is that it is a terrible idea. Discord was worse than a forum. X is even worse.

Then why did you post more on Discord than on this forum?

What is wrong with Twitter exactly?  I am asking because I am not that familiar with Twitter.

I guess I was happy with Discord in that I got used to posting updates and random thoughts without having to do much. It would be good now with the Jews committing outrages and suffering setbacks. Starting threads actually sucks for this.

The forums are all no good.

We have a new Discord server, see the link at the top of this forum.

We will limit controversial statements like that 2+2=4 to private channels.
