Last week, I got a heads up from JB, one of the awesome moderators of a brand-new Alabama Discord server. I wanted to pass that along to you folks, explain what it is, and hopefully enlarge both our community and theirs.
What is Discord?
Discord began back in 2015 as a way for gamers to chat to one another while live-streaming content or playing together. Soon after, it exploded into a variety of uses and functionalities.
First, it creates a series of community hubs (much like old BBS systems or Reddit). There are general chat areas, specific posts and topical areas within the Discord.
