Suggestion: Use Discord instead of Google Groups

[Toine Rademacher]

Hi,

I wanted to suggest to maybe transfer this group to a Discord server in the future. I'm curious what you guys and Nir think about this. Google Groups is e-mail based and feels pretty, clunky, old and disorganised. 

Thanks

Toine

Yeah I've been looking for a Google Groups alternative just yesterday. There's a lot of things Google Groups used to that it doesn't do anymore... I can't even pin topics on here. I looked into ProBoards but it doesn't seem ideal. I was thinking maybe Telegram, but I'll definitely check out Discord as well.

@Nir Alright :)! Maybe with Discord it's a risk that it maybe gets banned because "Soulseek promotes piracy". But if at least no music or direct links get shared there, I dont think it will be a problem. Telegram is also a good option, but Discord just has more and better community and bot features.

1) Telegram bot features are better than Discord's;

2) Discord banning a Soulseek server is not a possibility, it's a given.

Consider using a self-hosted version of Revolt!

It's an open source chat platform that functions similarly to Discord.
