FreeCAD on Discord
I use Discord for connecting with like minded people from all kinds of hobby communities.
FreeCAD never has had a dedicated server on Discord (the closest thing was the 'Elmer' Discord server).
So I started one: https://discord.gg/uh85ZRNcfk
Feel free to join us if you're a Discord user.
I intend to try get bridged with the gitter and irc channels eventually.

Re: FreeCAD on Discord
Kinda unilaterally elevated this Discord server to "official": https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Help#Discord There's some sort of elevated power "FreeCAD Team" I'm on which other project admins/devs can get added to if desired for some moderator-power resiliency in the channel.
OK to revert if this is disagreeable.
If not... need to include Discord icon and link on homepage? /r/FreeCAD? Anywhere else?
Also planning on bridging the "General" channel of FreeCAD Discord server to IRC/Gitter at some point in the future. If it ends up being too annoying having all those chat services smushed together like that I can disable it or revisit the discussion.

Re: FreeCAD on Discord
Bridging between Discord, IRC, and Matrix (Gitter) is now active
Re: FreeCAD on Discord
Strange enough the discord link is pointing to BRL-CAD, at least with the web browser interface.
I have to select on the left freecad.
Is this normal?

Re: FreeCAD on Discord
Probably I have clicked the wrong link.
The post was intended as a "user report" and not a "critics".

Re: FreeCAD on Discord
I think that an asynchronous communication model (like mail or a forum) is much better suited for the development of a complex system than real-time communication mechanisms (like Discord or Chat). For a simple reason: I, personally, and many people I know, work in batches, in bursts of contribution. So I live a "normal" life without any FreeCAD contribution (may-be some browsing of FreeCAD forum) and when enough stuff has accumulated/I have some time, I work on all the subjects, clean up my stack, and forget about it for some time again.
Therefore, I think that, while Discord is visually pleasing, it's ultimately DOA for FreeCAD.
