Having an official Discord Server owned by Glitch and maintained by the community would be great; if someone has a programming/glitch/etc question they can get real time help from anybody there. Becoming a Partner with Discord would also allow a custom invite link, like discord.gg/glitch
I’d like to bring attention back to this. A Discord server would not only promote community interactions, it would allow developers to more easily collaborate and find people with similar interests. I’m not saying that staff have to join the server, nor do they have to manage the server if they join. I think that with the help of active Glitch community members, the server would do well.
right now we’re putting all of our resources into creating a solid system for supporting the community – that’s through handling requests on and off the forum, creating documentation and guides to help everyone find and build the apps of their dreams, and lots of other great stuff in the works to help y’all succeed!
so while i can’t say we would never have an official place to real-time chat for the community in the future, we don’t have plans on creating and managing one in the near future. we’d have to make sure we set it up so it’s welcoming and friendly and safe for everyone, which is an important investment that will take us some time to make.
or vanity urls(custom links that aren’t random). I had a fun time trying out random urls to see where they led in the spam section of a server. Extremely safe is a sort of incorrect, it kind of depends on how you’ve set your security settings and how well server admins moderate the server.
