Thanks for the insight! I want to first help students connect with others university-wide. That way, a group of students can discover and connect with each other who otherwise might not because they don't share the same academic goals. Also, Alto is a synchronous platform so it's important that students, immediately after they sign in, can begin video chatting with someone. That's more likely to happen when it's open to the entire student population. I plan on launching groups in the future, subject to change based on feedback, where any cohort, student org or course can have their own group. At this point, it'll be easier for any student to discover other students based on mutual personal/professional/academic interests and frictionless since everyone will already be on the platform. What's the demographic of your cohort? Is it based on major, year or some other factor(s)? Is the Discord server you're talking about university-wide or cohort-wide? I've only used Discord a few times so I'm unfamiliar with its features, but I think Alto has less friction when compared. Alto prioritizes video communication, makes it easy to discover any classmate in your school, and in the future, any classmate associated with any group all in the same place. Additionally, Alto allows you to directly invite another student to a video chat room and know within a few seconds whether or not that person wants to chat without messaging back and forth. I may be completely wrong about Discord's existing capabilities so you'll have to correct me. Also, I would love to learn more about your experiences attending university remotely and using Discord. Let me know if you're free to chat!
