All - The Discord has been shut down. The emails I've gotten from Discord don't sound super promising. I'm exploring new options, one of them being a self-hosted forum or chat application.
Bearing my bias first: I would prefer a forum. I want to build a research community, and chat apps, to me, are a bit too ephemeral to serve as a good research community. They're annoying to admin, frequently spammed and the posts often disappear.
I understand that folks like chat apps (like Discord) and that they frequently serve as great ways to build commuity and relationship, though, so I'm putting it up to a poll before I move forward. There are great chat apps and forum software that can be self-hosted and are open source, so that's not a make or break.
The one that I go with:
- will be self-hosted
- will be free with some sort of way to monetize it
- will be open source
Please vote seriously here as I'll be deciding at least in part based on this poll.
Discord isn't going to keep us down!
