While some of the admin team are not fond of Discord, I went ahead and made a server anyways.
I recognize that we need to need cater to a changing dynamic and Discord is one of the easier things on the list. While IRC is incredibly lightweight and simple, it's not the de facto communication used by a majority of people these days. I understand that joining an IRC server is not straight forward despite an
old but handy guide. I see a few random connections on our Freenode channel from users attempting to get to Efnet.
While Discord will not be our official place to communicate, I will at least support the idea. I will be adding a few rooms to the server today and tomorrow. I'll be working with the admin team to figure out a way to introduce our Discord so that we don't fragment our discussions
too much.
Thanks for the wonderful suggestion, mets11rap!
