A Form of Keeping In Touch Should H.A. Go Down.

[Outcast9428]

I don’t have a WhatsApp but I do have Discord and am quite active on it. Tsar and I talk through Discord a lot so I know he has it too.

I'm not familiar with Discord. Can you create private groups on there? I'd be willing to download it like if that's how people want to keep in touch.

Oh yeah, creating private groups is precisely what it was meant for. You create servers and add people to them and everybody has a text box and you can even create different channels for different topics of discussion.

It also has a Private Message feature. YouTube videos, news articles, and links are auto-previewed.

I should really figure out Discord. There is a HA Whatsapp already but there's not much posting and great leader doesn't often grace us with his presence.

On the one hand, I'd like that. On the other hand, I value my anonymity. I let loose with my opinions here from time to time in ways I don't on other forums, though I express a lot of ideas that are unpopular with some in other venues. I don't want to get 'cancelled' by my employer, especially if it is not over an opinion worth getting cancelled over.

If we sort something out you're welcome to join us if you like. We haven't got anything sorted as of yet though.

Well it's up to you, MrMan. The forum goes down often enough and it would be a way to keep in touch should the forum close permanently. Neither myself or Lucas88 would ever expose your identity or posts to any employer or whatever, we respect privacy and I for one enjoy our debates MrMan. If we get something sorted let me know if you would like to join us. The choice is entirely up to you.

Can one join anonymously?

I probably wouldn't do W/A. We used to have some rather aggressive type people on the forum, who I wouldn't want to have my phone number. I'd rather participate in an another anonymous forum that has no long T&C or privacy policy.

But Winston also has us here in his forum, where he met, and if I were him, I wouldn't want all my members to organize and go off on another forum. This forum will probably still stick around as long as he is alive and healthy and doesn't decide to swear off technology for some reason. It goes down for repairs from time to time.

Yes, Discord is anonymous. You don't need a phone number or anything to sign up. You can create an anonymous email if you want to avoid using your main email.

I like and second the Discord idea.
