izutorishima I recently saw a tweet on Twitter lamenting that “the technical community has moved to Discord where knowledge is not made public”. While this is true, psychological safety is much higher in Discord’s closed community. If you open it to the public, you have to be afraid that Masakari might fly at any moment, but in a space where only comrades are present, you can have conversations in peace, and there is only incentive for that to happen. I guess it’s a reaction to the 10’s when public internet flameouts caused a lot of problems, and it’s becoming more of a closed community. …I posted a tweet about it on Bruska, and the response was unexpectedly positive, so here it is…
bioshok3 It’s hard to discuss on Twitter. It’s hard to consolidate information, and with Discord, there’s voice chat, so it’s very convenient.
izutorishima I think you’re right, it’s easier to discuss things in a community, and there are more people with similar interests. In addition, since the context is continuous, there is less chance for people to come up with crazy ideas.
izutorishima Twitter is basically a medium for writing things down, so it’s true that information is dispersed. I think this trend is inevitable.
studiomasakaki I know…I am on a disco server and I really feel that it is a great place to share skills and get advice. I’m on a disco server and it’s a great place to share skills, get good advice, and feel psychologically safe.
“The problem of no longer publishing Ji on the web” is exactly the same. I thought it was something like, I don’t pay money to the media, but I want to read articles.

izutorishima I completely agree… It is hard to share knowledge for free on the public internet, where security is deteriorating day by day, when even psychological safety is not guaranteed (because I and others I know are already satisfied with the Discord server). Discord server).
- This point is interesting.
- “Knowledge is not shared on the public Internet!” is a nuance of “the other party is dishonest”, but from another point of view, it is a cutthroat way of saying “share your knowledge for free! from another point of view, “Share the knowledge for free!
- To begin with, the OSS Discord community that is being talked about here is one that you can enter permissionless in many cases, with the ability to search within the server, and the knowledge is shared for free. You just can’t find it when you do a Google search without entering the community.
emutyworks I used to register on forums and such, but discord is easier since I don’t have to register every time. I’m sure there are other options like GitHub, but that’s a place to talk about specific code, not for unorganized discussions… so I think it’s the best choice for now.
machdance It seems like the only difference is whether or not you were able to find a good quality disco.
epouvante This is the function that mailing list used to perform.
Could lead to a fleshing out of the concept of “Bazaar and Clubs”.
