Ask HN: Is there already an HN Discord?

8 pointsmetadat6 comments

I'm thinking of creating one on an invite-only basis (at least to start).

Does an HN oriented Discord already exist?

Would you be interested in joining?

Some of y'all really inspire me, mikkergp, bombcar, sn0w_crash, PaulHoule, chatterhead, and other /new friends. I'd love to have a channel of our own.

View on HN

this seems like more of an IRC kind of place

Or matrix if you really wanted something contemporary.

I don't.

I tried HN IRC on freenode a long time ago and it sucked. There wasn't much activity and more about significantly I'm always on my phone nowadays and generally don't enjoy sitting in front of the computer any more than necessary.

IRC was awesome back in my 20s when I was glued in front of your computer 24/7.

There are IRC clients for phones.

I hope not.
