    I had this idea in my head we were better known in LGBTQ communities.

    Folks gotta go where their community is, but let’s be sure we keep the light on, because we know Discord isn’t likely to be great, long term.

    But I suppose I didn’t assume that all our Star Trek nerds were already here, and I shouldn’t assume everyone that runs Linux on Desktop is here…yet.

    I do feel like we can easily become the preferred platform for those three communities, and starting by inviting and reinviting LGBTQ folks is the most important of the three goals.

    I don’t still have a reddit account, but I’m reading along for how else I can be an ally.

    Running to Discord when Reddit goes downhill is like running from the fire to be caught in the frying pan. Sure, it might not be cooking you now; but it’s still made to cook you.

    Specially given that it’s a community geared towards gay people, and Discord is hosted in a country that seems to be trying to associate “LGBTQIA+ = pornography” and make pornography illegal.
