I am on the Discord list for klipper and other 3d printing friends. Its
generally good. We even get answers from the sw's authors. Solid,
knowledgeable answers. It can be a breath of fresh air.
I believe that you, now, are referring to Discourse installs, but
calling them Discord, which is only increasing people's confusion.
The icon on the opening firefox screen is self labeled Discord Andy, a
one click login to the main menu. I can click on it, post a msg, and get
a useful reply in less than 5 minutes elapsed time quite often. Not only
that, but the usual method they use for trouble shooting involves
posting the complete log from a current session of klipper, a log which
can run to 15 megabytes, no problem because of the size. I can't even
post a 10k .png here. Or a screen snap showing the problem in far more
detail than I can describe and get called a liar for trying to describe
it it text. The last calendar I have is for 2024, why is debian still
running on dialup rules from 1995?
Unless you actually *are* talking about the realtime chat service
(like IRC), which would be unusual for a software support community
but not unheard of (rsync recently switched to using Discord for
realtime chat, for example).
Thanks,
