Just Say No...Again... Re: Discord

AndyH All Messages By This Member #106348 Adding Discord is a bad idea for a group such as this. I use Discord daily and while it's useful for chat and coordination IF the group is small, this is not a small group! As some complain about this "email list", here's yet another reminder that the native function of Groups.IO is via the website. Visit the actual group and find ALL of the messages, a search function, a files archive, a WIKI and more. /g/BITX20/topics I strongly recommend stopping all but admin email and consume the messages via the web. (This is coming to you via a smartphone from a sailboat - it works perfectly and doesn't need an 'app'.) 73, Andy, KG5RKP/MM ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Nov 21, 2023 at 09:22 AM, rdg wrote: I’ll agree with Discord being a good path / option.

Peter McCracken EI3JCB All Messages By This Member #106349 Not sure that would make sense for?most users, I have membership of upwards of 40 different groups and I am sure some have many more, I really wouldn't want to spend time poking around each and every group via the web. It's much easier to scan the emails in my inbox, read what interests me and delete the rest and then visit the actual site if I need to access the wiki or files. The digest function is available to those who don't like multiple emails. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, 22 Nov 2023 at 23:06, AndyH <awhecker@...> wrote: Adding Discord is a bad idea for a group such as this.

AndyH All Messages By This Member #106351 I understand Peter, thankfully there are options. I'm mobile and just don't have the bandwidth or time to deal with email from the 45 groups to which I belong - especially the 'spammy' ones from people that don't know what groups.io is or how to search before posting. Maybe if people visited the site they'd see it has a chat function. 73
ajparent1/kb1gmx All Messages By This Member #106353 NO! Why the basic issue is dilution, keep adding ground for the same thing and after while its factions all talking to their little group and to no one on the whole. Likely there's a facebook group,? I'd bet also Xitter, and how many possible others.? If like is that urgent maybe slowing down and waiting a few more hours.? Or we seen the same thnig posted to Eham, QRZ forum, facebook, here, and others. So the no is, I'm not playing, the collective you can, if you wish.? In all likelihood the word will be where did XXX go. -- Allison ------------------ Please use the forum, offline and private will go to bit bucket.
