I'm sure a lot of us didn't use it much because it was overwhelming and difficult to follow sometimes, but I know that lots of people loved it, and I'm one of them.

Just feeling reflective and thinking about what lessons can be learned from the whole experience, what we can use going forwards for the betterment of our community, and what we think are things we want to build towards.

I'm so utterly proud of this community, many wonderful things happened on the discord and in the weeks after the sub was banned, so many people came together and worked hard for the betterment of their comrades, we've witnessed a glimpse of the power of our solidarity with one another, and I can't wait to see how far we can go.

I love you all, and you know I mean it <3

    I plan to keep using the voice channels at work, since I’m often driving and can’t post. I love chat (in particular slowgang) but it’s really nice to physically speak with others.

    And due to your average chapo’s fucked up schedule, my work hours are prime Euro/Aussie posting hours and it’s really nice to get non-American perspectives.

    Viewed as a camaraderie-building tool, rather than a reddit alternative, it’s nice. I hope the discord lives on

        Nah that was super cool, I’d only seen d&d portrayed in TV and stuff and had wanted to get a better understanding of how a session might actually go; it was very fun to listen in on

      Those were typically the hours I was in the People's Pod channel too, definitely the star of the show the voice chat. Forced my lib ass to listen to theory quite a few times and quite a few interesting conversations. I've been in voice channels with a fifth the amount of people that were noise filled hell holes
