I recently had to deal with some Discourse users trying to hijack my community's discussions to a Discourse chatroom. Absolutely awful experience and terrible client support.
- jSully24 10y agoCould you provide more details on what happened? It sounds like you have a mix of human issues, "users thing to hijack" and something with the product "terrible client support". I'd be interested to understand what you ran into in more detail.
- JeremyBanks 10y agoAre you talking about Discord?
- tokenizerrr 10y agoIt seems that I am. I even read the blog post thinking it was about Discord. Apologies.
- codinghorror 10y agoAlmost certainly referring to Discord, as Discourse doesn't have chat. Not that people haven't asked us to build it, but I think a good Slack integration is a far better choice, plus Slack is free (in terms of hosting costs, and ease of starting with just 2 or 3 people) in a way that is highly complimentary to what Discourse does. I like to think of Discourse as the "long term memories" in Pixar's Inside Out. You ship stuff there as you need to. A mixture of mostly short term and sometimes long term memories is a sane and manageable arrangement for most humans.
