[PPRAANet] Club Discord?

[John Bloodgood]

Not opposed to it. The club does have other social media presences including a Facebook group with 231 members, a Facebook page, a Twitter account, and an Instagram account. I believe we used to have a forum linked to the website, but as I recall it wasn't really being used so got turned off.

My limited experience with Discord is it is a more of an "internal audience" platform and less of a public audience thing, so it is more like the Facebook group.  We would want to make sure that basic steps are followed to keep spammers and such out. If you decide to establish a Discord for the club, let me know so we can go over some of the settings.

Other venues to also consider are LinkedIn and Mastodon.

Subject: [PPRAANet] Club Discord?

Hello everyone,

I was curious to see if anyone would be interested or think the general
membership would be interested if I set up a Discord for the club. If you
haven't heard of or seen Discord before it's basically the next generation
of internet forum where members can discuss topics, share builds, pictures,
stories, etc. There are also voice channels and screen sharing
capabilities, where people can hangout and have online discussions. It
could be a great tool for helping new people get started as well.

The folks at Parks On The Air just set up a discord for POTA and so far
it's been pretty cool.

Here's a link if you'd like to check it out:

If there's enough interest I'll set one up for the club.

Thanks,
Kyle
