That's a cool idea. Just yesterday I posted a thread about finding Discord/Slack groups and it didn't even occur to me that I can start one.

However, my impression is still that these groups quickly degenerate into a mix of silence and occasional self-promotion. Any thoughts?

To avoid self promotion, there just has to be good moderation, clear rules, and perhaps a #show-hn channel.

The silence will depend on how many people will join and how interested they are.

Some DnD groups become extremely active and take off, others eventually become silent and stop playing. As far as I can tell, the only way to know is to try and see if this works or not.
