#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!
It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!
I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.
Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.
I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools
Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.
I have made my own TOS for my Discord server

"We are stardust.
We came from the stars and to the stars we shall return.
In the meantime, we remember these truths with our Wyrmsong.
The Breath of the Wyrm provides our voice.
The Scales of the Wyrm protect our substance.
The Wings of the Wyrm uplift our deeds.
The Fangs of the Wyrm gnaw our meanings.
The Horns of the Wyrm defend our customs.
The Claws of the Wyrm scratch our glyphs.
The Eyes of the Wyrm witness our triumphs.
The Tail of the Wyrm steers our memories.
Together, they sing : we sing."

Greetings, fellow glossopoeists.
I propose a collaborative linguaculture -- a (sub)culture created in and around a language -- based on the Common Honey model of language creation.
What is the Common Honey model?
It is a system that addresses both the division of labor and the relation of each participant to each other. To clarify, each role has final say and jurisdiction over a particular part of the language. Additionally, each role has attendant cultural taboos which help to foster a sense of community identity.
For example, in the Sajem Tan (Common Honey) community, "Thunder" is in charge of phonology and her taboo is that she may not rhyme, neither in English nor in Sajem Tan.
While Thunder or, indeed, any other member is allowed (and encouraged!) to accept feedback and proposals from their fellow participants, she still has the authority to approve, veto, or disregard any suggestions regarding phonology. In fact, during Sajem Tan's "Age of Great Reforms", Thunder changed /ʎ/ to /j/, /ɵ/ to /œ/, and /ɤ/ to /o/ based on the community's difficulty pronouncing these phonemes.
This system provides stability, yet encourages compromise and flexibility. The stability emerges from having definitive "answers" from a single individual/source, terminating indecisiveness and power struggles between members. Compromise and flexibility emerge when the members realize that any outré decisions or stubbornness on their part could be reciprocated by their co-collaborators.
With regards to the taboos -- the heart of the culture -- click this link to read the post which inspired Common Honey to exist:
https://listserv.brown.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0905D&L=CONLANG&P=R2930 .
Pay particular attention to this quote:
"You don't just become "a speaker" of this language, you must take on a more particular title. I'm imagining a culture as well, I suppose, but it's not just a fictional culture-- like the language itself, the imagined society is meant to come to life as the players take their parts."

Is a Collaborative Language Even Possible?

It will prepare you for some common pitfalls, most of which I have seen verified in the many collaborative projects on Reddit and elsewhere. To maintain momentum and to prevent burn-out on a small community, please invite as many people as possible. There may come a time when we'll need a designated ambassador/recruiter to reinvigorate the community with new members during lulls or absences.
On that note, we ask that you be available for at least two days each week so that we can conduct voice chats and live collaborations. Please, state your available days and hours when you introduce yourself.
Lastly, and most importantly, see the rules.
Thank you for your interest. Post any comments and questions that you may have.
Hey everyone, Lily here with some cool news I’m excited to share! I’ve been working on a new verification system for our Discord server, and I think it’s going to be a game changer. Basically, if you connect a Mastodon account (or another supported platform), you’ll get a verification symbol to show off your authentic self.
There are two kinds of verification symbols up for grabs:
- Blue Verification: This badge is available for anyone who meets our basic verification requirements.
- Purple Verification: Reserved for Twitch affiliates, this one is a little extra special, just for those folks.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how this new system will help boost our community’s vibe and bring in some awesome new members. Thanks for being here, and stay tuned for more updates!
It’s wild how many people join Discord servers and don’t read the instructions. Every week someone joins mine and can’t figure out access—even though the #welcome-wagon clearly says to tap the in #roles to verify. Y’all… please just read the page you land on

Bruh!! I starting to feel jealous because my Discord server doesn't have much members and much people to talk too...
Also, I am adding a feature for verified member. So, it might talk a why. I just need to reach level 2 to allow me to do this feature..
Netflix - Pushes mobile games, can't hide them.
WhatsApp - Pushes AI on top of your chat history, can't hide it.
Discord - Pushes ad on top of your chats, can't hide it.
The enshitification never ends...
Better late than never, it's our weekly #StreamSchedule ready for you to add to your calendars (you do... don't you?!).

We're currently gathering participants on the Language Creation Society Discord server for a language based on the Common Honey model of collaboration.

We were testing #galene as an alternative to #discord video/voice-chat in online #ttrpg sessions today. (In addition to #irc as a chat that is)
It worked fine. Galene has really low ressource demands and we had multiple people in the chat on two continents with good quality video and multiple simultaneous screenshare windows at the same time.
If discord enshittifies too much I think we at least have a way to play our games.
Most of time #Discord app issues can be resolved by clearing cache, updating drivers, disabling overlays, or reinstalling the app. https://windows101tricks.com/discord-keeps-crashing/ #howto #tech #Technology
