YakYak Discord...

Gets a bit confusing with people having different user names on Discord and YY... it would be much easier if everyone has the same nick on both eh?

If you're not familiar with Discord, you might note you can change your nick on a per-server basis there. On the desktop version you just right click on the server icon, or on mobile press on the channel name.. :-)

Minor milestone today, the Discord just hit 100 users :-)

I'm just Cloud there and keep forgetting it's a thing

It's pretty quiet, but it's definitely a thing :-)

The discord is slowly gathering a bit of momentum now which is nice to see.

120 members now and a steady trickle of activity. Be nice to get a few more of the regulars on there :-)

Decided to join to Discord after all these years. Updated my YY avatar to the one i use on Discord to prove it is me

I'm also lurking over there. Nick is MoparStephen - it what I use most everywhere else and I don't think I can use different nicks for different channels (servers, rooms, whatever they are called).

I'm a member but still can't figure out how to actually use Discord

It's pretty much like any other messenger / chat, with good support for embedded pics / videos / links etc. and has the benefit of 'channels' i.e. topics, so we have a few which kinda mirror here, i.e.

#bleatings - general chat
#fluffy-photos - photos of beasties (or whatever you like really)
#ooh-shiny - our love of tech/gadgets etc.
#playing-the-games - chat about games

Digital Narcotics
#llamasoft-games
#lightsynths

Things To Make and Do
#coding
#moosicians
#baatificial-intelligence - all about AI, pics etc.
#ill-show-you-mine-if-you-show-me-yours - show off your projects whatever they are!

Live real-time chat going on in at least ten channels at once. I think I will stick with a single #llamasoft channel, thanks all the same.

That's what gets me. I never used chat apps until Teams came along. Discord just has so much going on it's difficult to keep track. Plus disabling (or at least taming) the notifications is trickier than it should be

[WiteWulf]

The first thing we teach users when onboarding to Teams at work is how to manage notifications, quiet time, etc. It can be complete information overload for people who aren't used to it.

Didn't the guy that started Discord get jailed for illegally gathering and sharing personal data?


I put it in the same shit department as Fackbook and other privacy-invaders.

That's total cobblers Harly, as you'd know if you simply took a look..

It's 99% one chat, in the main 'bleatings' channel, with occasional post in the photos thread...

Finally joined the Discord, I feel old.
