So I discussed in the newsletter couple weeks ago ( #1113226876735987806 ) that I was thinking of replacing #1048824705131499560 with the new tfos subreddit. However current events have me questioning that decision. I don't have strong opinions about whether or not Reddit is acting badly in wanting to put more restrictions on its API--it's a bummer obviously, but not necessarily a bigger bummer than Reddit being unprofitable--but from what I've heard it sounds like they're handling the situation terribly. I'm concerned about the stability of Reddit going forward. On top of that, even though Reddit does technically have a real-time chat feature (the "lounge"), no one's ever gonna use it. It's just not a common behavior; Reddit is for threaded discussions. That was leading me to think "maybe I should stick with #958102014733189191 here on discord for unstructured chat, and then use reddit just for async discussion." But that really seems like a much less good situation than simply sticking with #1048824705131499560 here on discord, so forum and chat are in the same place. So, my current thinking is that at some point I really need to just polish up my discord forum publisher thing (https://discord.tfos.co/) so that I have publish links I can share in the newsletter. Then problem solved I guess 🤷‍♂️
