Hey @acidyo, this is the type of post that really proves to me it would be so helpful if someone could set up a weekly type of Discord hangout where us Hivians could meet up and discuss all things related to Hive and the wider crypto scene. We are in desperate need of a show or hangout like this.
As you know I am new here but have been in the crypto space for seven years now, with Steemit being my gateway into crypto. Back then there was an abundance of thriving Discord servers where you could drop in and just listen all evening to people chatting and asking questions about crypto.
We also had the awesome PAL network back then with a very lively Discord presence. This is sadly missed and no it's not coming back despite me trying my best to get Cork back on it again!
We need someone more senior and established in this community to step forward and set up something regular on Discord. We need a live chat informal hangout to bring us together and discuss all things Hive.
I did suggest something a little while back but you never responded. I know you must be very busy especially with all you do on here but can I ask you what your thoughts are on this idea? And if you can't help me set this up, because I am more than happy to play my part in making this idea a reality, could you direct me to someone who might have the time and inclination to re-establish a regular Discord hangout for Hivians to chat purely Hive and crypto?
How would Discord be better/different than having the discussion here in the comments and on other posts that explore these ideas? I would be reluctant to encourage more discussion on Discord - not everyone is involved with Discord, or wants to be. Here it's on the chain, anyone can find it.
There are so many advantages to real time chat over on chain discussions, speed being one of the key benefits. Conversations are more fluid in real time and less is left to interpretation.
Of course blog posts are very important and play a crucial role in the discussion, but they can be complimented by live chats on Discord. Discussions can easily start on chain and then continue in Discord.
I have now published a post proposing a new weekly hangout to discuss all things related to crypto and Hive. We really need a show like it.
