The all-new chat thread

[Lampwick 43]

Actually, I'm going to have to take a raincheck. A couple friends in a group chat I'm in texted me about trying out that Netflix live party streaming app thingy that was just released.

 

[Night Prowler]

We should do this again now that I have WiFi

 

[Brigantium]

I've got rid of a couple of apps and now have Discord on my phone

 

[Onhell]

Any particular reason why the change to Discord was made?

 

[Night Prowler]

Slack is for text chat, Discord for video chat.

 

[Onhell]

Ok... I'm still using it as a text chat, like... I don't show my face even to my students, who already know what I look like.

 

[LooseCannon]

Slack doesn't have free video chat.

 

[LooseCannon]

Shall we Pony tomorrow? I have a meeting until 5 my time, but happy to join in after.

 

[Black Wizard]

I'm at home all day - apart from my Boris-approved once-daily excursion - so I'm keen. We could make it a weekly pandemic event.

Why are all the oldest members spamming the all-new thread?

Because that was the name I gave it when I made it.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Oh, good point.

 

[LooseCannon]

Or Perun gave it, I should say - 8 years ago.

 

[Yax]

Make allnewchatthread great again?

 

[LooseCannon]

Depends, are you going to join in?

A Slack chat group, absolutely! Wouldn't be able to participate in a video chat though, time being sparse these days with a baby and whatnot. Or is discord both text and video?

Of course.

Slack is constantly going and you can pm me your email so I can add you.

Discord we use for video only. Understand the baby thing, but if you can put aside an hour or so on a Friday night, you'd be welcome.

 

[Brigantium]

I'm more inclined to join the Slack chat, but I can drop in briefly on Discord if that's where the Pony is.

 

[LooseCannon]

The idea is that I can see all your beautiful faces, also @Perun.
