Discord Updates
🕑 Added 2023-08-07 14:55:25 +0000 UTCHey hey!! Thank you for your patience as I looked through the Discord doc with rule options and ideas for more channels. I agree with the rules but will have to look into a few options that could make things easier (ie. if it's possible to limit the @everyone tag or not).
As for the channels wanted, I am happy to open some of them up and see how it goes! We can always add more or combined some. My only concern is that it can sometimes be so specific that someone might not know what channel to join (ie. if they have multiple diagnoses).
As for moderators, if anyone is interested, please message me on here and we can go from there! Thank you all so much for all of the thought and effort you put into this :) I want our discord server to be a place you want to hangout, so if you have any other thoughts or feedback, leave it in the comments! xoxo
My goal is to make these changes this week :)

Hey Kati, love your videos! I run a fb group and ran a discord server for years, have created several too. If you ever need another mod I'd love to help out! ❤️

I would have at least one "forum". That is basically a normal channel but everything is a thread. I find that it can be easier to cater to a diverse need for something that may or may not be neatly categorized into a single channel, so folks can create a post (thread) themselves with the appropriate tags. That way you don't have to think of ALL the possible channels in advance. Then if something is large enough to be a category in itself, then a new channel can be made for it later.

About the multiple channels thing: I'm a bit of an outlier as I enjoy anything goes channels à la #random (but I recognize that they fall apart when communities grow past a certain size). That being said, as long as the community is welcoming (and so far I've found it super warm and forgiving), I don't foresee having per-diagnosis channels being a huge problem? If I post something in #CPTSD and someone gently redirects me with ‘what you're describing sounds like and #eating-disorder, you might get more interesting responses over there’, that's fine, I think? And if I know I'm diagnosed with both major depression and ADHD, I'm free to read both channels so it's all good? Just my thoughts.

Hi hi! I'm reasonably familiar with Discord (I'm a geek in life and computer programmer by trade), happy to help. I'm not sure I can upload screenshots here on patreon to show how, but it's definitely possible to restrict @everyone to certain roles. Most people consider this a good idea except mayyyyybe for tiny communities.

Good morning Kati, I couldn’t find an option to message you so I’ll put it here. I am very interested in modding for you. I am BW here BadWolf in discord. ❤️
