Hi,
My friend has a Discord server group set up with some traditional women who have joined, but it's a bit inactive. The group is mostly for women who cannot find a community of other traditional women to talk about topics like children, family life, pregnancy, etc.
https://discord.gg/ymAc3tmf
This is the link.
I'm not sure if this post is allowed, so you can delete it if it's not.
Looks nice! I'm married but does one *have* to be married to join?
No, of course not! Young women to older women are welcome, doesn't matter married or not. There's an "intros" section that you can fill out for the ladies to get to know you, and you can read the other ones already there to give you an idea. Otherwise, please say "hi" in the general chat.
I have never used Discord. Could someone give me background information or a link to a good description?

It's a chat platform (similar to Facebook Messenger, but standalone, or WhatsApp). It's primarily used, in my experience, by gamers.

It might be different from what it was. I used it very briefly a long time ago, but what I see indicates it has evolved substantially. I don't know who uses it the most, but I do not think gamers dominate it anymore.
Maybe someone could make a board for traditional Catholic women on a forum and promote it for this purpose so people did not have to use this proprietary software. Is this crazy talk?

That is a rabbit hole.
The actual use of it depends on the configuration of the server and who is using it, and it basically a
voice, video, or text chat room system. It is a
little more involved (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discord_(software)), and as with most such platforms, describing its software is limited, as the perception of it in practice depends on the users.
I don't know how private boards can be. It has been a very long time since I used it at all, and even then, it is quite minimal and for text only.

Hi, I like discord because it has a nice interface and it's not too personal like with FB chat. I would suggest making an account on Discord first, and then clicking on the join link, so it's easier to join. Once you join, you can start chatting in the "General Chat" if you want or look through the other threads.
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034842871-How-do-I-join-a-Server- This would probably help more.
When I read "discord chat" I thought that you meant the purpose was to complain. :huh:

People unfamiliar with the software will
only see the meaning of the word (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discord).

Sorry, I was just suspicious of someone from FE trying to troll me, but all's good. Nice to see you here :)

That is how I read the tittle of the thread; inviting women to have an argument; like a Monty Python skit.

Lately, I have been seeing Discord recommended for German language learners. Apparently there are some good servers that provide lessons and opportunities to write and speak in German. I had been meaning to look into this, so this thread reminded me. I set up a Discord account and joined this women's server and a German learners' one.
I don't really know what I'm doing, but it looks like the sort of thing to learn by doing.

The discussions on the server look like they would fit just fine on our women's sub-forum here. (And there are even a few Fisheaters refugees posting, which is a traditional function of SD. :cheeseheadbeer: ) But, given the current atmosphere on SD, I can understand the appeal of starting up something new rather than using SD. Still, it is difficult to get enough members to make a new group work.
A lot of my favourite posters here take a break or reduce posting for Lent. Perhaps, if they resume posting, SD will become more pleasant and the Discord group could consider it as a "Plan B" if things don't work out.
I'm interested in joining, but the invite is expired. Can a new invite be issued?

They should resume posting, even if it's "just" in the ladies' subforum!

We'd love to have you! I'm QuidHocAdAeternitatem over there, the moderator/server owner, although there isn't much to "mod" at the moment lol. Any other ladies, please feel welcome to follow the invite link and join in. I'm all ears, if you have suggestions.
Welcome TraddingtonBear, I should have known.

You're too kind! Life is crazy busy lately. Hopefully I'll have more down time in the summer once we take a school break. I've been checking in, by haven't had much time to engage in discussions. It doesn't help that I don't have a nursing baby at the moment, which is when I used to have the opportunity to just sit for longer periods of time. Currently, the toddler is far more interested in exploring and digging outside than sitting in the rocker with me..... "no, I not wock wiff you, Mama. I go pway ouside." besides, he told his Daddy the other day, "Jesus don't want me take nap" ::) who are we to argue with that!? ;D
