What the fuck is their deal?
Imagine not being terrified by discord. A million channels whizzing past you with no clear opportunity to participate, it’s like being around a circle of friends and acquaintances and never knowing if you’re actually in the conversation or not.
I like this post because it prompted me to think of ways to get chapo discorders onto the site. We’re over 3300 users now, which is a huge success so close to launch, and its rising rapidly. I’m pretty sure the majority of that is people in the discord going ‘fuck, fine.’
I think a lotta people just need a lil prompt; we gotta make it look like the cool thing to do ;) hahaha
Honestly, there is huge value in both communities imo. :af-heart:
Discord has a “suppress @everyone” feature that 70% of the userbase uses. This results in people not receiving the @everyone message you sent out.
You can bypass this by making a new role on the discord. Adding literally the entire discord into it. Then use that to send an @ ping out.
Harass people to join.
I think this is a brilliant point, and I’ve sent it over for the brilliant minds on the development team to consider :) good shout, comrade :chavez-salute:
You should also consider a bot DMing everyone on the server that the site is up.
having better platforms than discord would be ideal tho; even if that’s the preferred format. discord is deeply fucked as a platform.
Full agree. I’m the #1 shitposter on discord main, and I both hate discord and don’t trust it.
One of the middle-distance goals for the devs is to eventually migrate the discord onto a self-hosted matrix server . :red-fist:
The suggestion has been made already but a matrix chat box as part of the site would be dope.
I don’t agree with chat, it’s addictive, but if they must do it let them do it here at home. Harm reduction :grinning face:
Hahaha harm reduction, I love that. You can see in your userpage that front-end exists for matrix integration. It’s not up and running yet, but integration is definitely in the cards. And it will be majestic.
Then we can slowly win over comrades from the dark side of the chatstream looks at own hands
What embedded images are you talkin about? Do you mean the emojis, like the :af-heart: you get when you type : af-heart :?
This what I see https://ibb.co/hHrW4XS
Discorders are only the tip of the iceberg, the mods need to reach out to reddit mods of leftist subs, and tell them we relocated to chapo.chat. Remember, the discord only had a bit more than 10k, we have more than 150k when we got banned, which means the overwhelming majority of our comrades stayed on reddit.
Something to understand. At least a portion of that was just reddit liberals who agreed with some of what we said or enjoyed highly upvoted Bernie posts but who would never move to another website and resented most of our content anyways but wouldn’t see it as they just had us as another subscription on their home feed. I would bet at least half the subscriber numbers were people like that.
Admittedly we had 3-5k people online and browsing the sub at any given hour of the day and that’s pretty impressive so probably still looking at several tens of thousands of people who could be willing to be users.
Honestly, it took me a few days to decide on a user name
I was planning for the day I could spring this artwork upon an unsuspecting audience.
