#122Isn't the only thing this has in common with Discord.. text chat?
That's the LEAST interesting part about Discord, and it's basically just table stakes for a chat service.

well, channels, emoji names, syntax highlighting...

#125Did you know you are exposing your identity for each "permission denied" error? SSH repeatedly tries all of your public keys to authenticate. Someone was able to harvest that and figure multiple github profiles of the client in past.
(assuming I am malicious (which isn't really a bad thing to assume))

#126Earlier quoted context omitted.
Discord is one of the most popular chat platforms. Imagine IRC, but more modern and the developers actually care about UX.
But unfortunately it is highly censored. And if you're part of any community that is banned, your account is banned as well. It happens often. Something I experienced, as a former member of a nootropics server. I don't find the service very trustworthy, but I think that if you're a gamer, it may work out just fine for you.
All the topics mentioned in this subthread sound like my kind of thing. It's sad that Discord bans for that.
If you ever want to resume your communities elsewhere, perhaps check out Matrix (https://matrix.org/)? If you have the know how to host your own server, you can host a community without the risk of being shut down by an external party. People from other servers can still join because the network is federated.

Or an internal IRC server. Or a Zulip server. Matrix is overkill if you're never going to federate it.
What makes you say that?
Matrix is a joy when not federated fwiw, given all the stuff that could slow it down (talking to other people’s servers) isn’t happening :)

#128Back in the mid 90's, I used to hang out on what was called vrave, a telnet based chat hosted at hyperreal.org (Apache's' Brian Behlendorf's rave archive/culture site). This is definitely making me nostalgic for it.
My first Unix account was on hyperreal.org, given to me by Brian Beulendorf so I could put up the Dance Music Business Resource. The same machine also hosted apache source code repositories. Oh, hi Jon! It's Chris, from the 90s
I used to live in your basement!

#129> It's like discord but in the terminal, over SSH so it's IRC?
More like a BBS partyline. IRC requires a custom client, not just a terminal connection.
