I once had a shower thought of making a Dissensus Discord, but I figured the only two outcomes were (1) it never gets used (2) it displaces the forum entirely and everyone migrates. Both seemed like bad outcomes.
If we got rid of the "20 seconds between posts" rule it'd make the site a bit more chat-like.
Where'd that rule come from, anyway? There an issue with spammers? Or it just default settings/legacy?

a discord was made for the dissensus raw production thread. we used it to host the listening party. Wektor and I got groovy bot hooked up and queued up gunshot noises over everyone's tracks

The schism will come sooner or later anyway.
I would suggest you make it, though I will mention I did try making one for the Compilation™ release and it did not hold up too well when it comes to activity.

We'd need to open a few traffic-portals for younger netizens to flood in. Don't know how to go about that.

I'd assume a strong twitter presence in that so-called "-cellectual" sphere may be of interest.

The thing is, this forum's lovely for archival stuff. That you can keep alive threads from 10-15 years ago is incredible. Almost nowhere on the Internet is like this. It's a big part of the reason I like it here. Discord you lose all that. You can only exist in the present. It's a mixed bag.

My only other online social activity is crypto-related, which doesn't seem pertinent.

I'd imagine we can go about storing that data automatically, but I wouldn't know the costs involved in that. It doesn't seem that difficult to program though.
But yeah I'd agree that this forum is considerably superior in that regard.

My experience is - plenty internet forums used to have live chat functionality alongside the usual business and I would not say it killed the forum, it contributes to its vitality, if anything.
imo a channel either undergoes clinical death within a week and if it doesn't it bodes well

Yeah in any case the post timer has always seemed unwarranted.

Honestly I'm all for a discord, but it needn't leech from this forum.

We can create one and just optimize it around the next generation of recruitment.

Shit, I'll start drafting one right now.

It's less storage, more surfacing. Visualization. UI. Keeping found things found.
Has this ever happened in 20 years serious Q I guess Barty got discovered that's one, but it was by a fellow Dissensian
