Re: [opennic-discuss] Discord?

There is one thing which might be bad about using Discord only. Discord allows the main admin (Jonah) to delete others' messages, and the main admin can create "roles" and assign them abilities, including to edit and delete messages. 

I run my own publicly-listed Discord, and when your Discord is publicly listed in directories you're bound to attract spammers, usually you set up a bot (like Sweetiebot) to assign spammers the "silence" role and then I or others in the "staff" role can delete the messages.

Additionally, you often have spammers spam you with PMs, and then when you report it to the Discord they're in, they deny it and delete the spam PM.

So Fusl might be right about having everything official done on IRC, and considering a bridge as I investigated (Jonah suggested it might be best to have a separate Discord channel for the bridge)
