What would you hope to see in an unofficial HN discord?


What would you hope to see?

My personal answer is kinda more of the Ask HN and Show HN discussion type content. I like those threads!

Another answer from someone else was they're hoping a discord would be less intimidating to join the convo, some early feedback before Show HN posts, and "body doubling" a la ADHD / "work buddy" type things.

Inspired by this thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37233435. Someone asked about if there was a HN discord and I set one up and a group of 11 people joined in the past hour or so, nothing major yet but there's been a couple interesting messages.

I absolutely refuse to use Discord as a matter of principle, so I would hope to see nothing.

I'd like to see HNers actually fight back against the monopolistic tech aristocracy and stop relying on the modern petite borgiouse that can impose their political views on you bc they have admin controls over your "free" chat room...
