university compsci clubs in the 90s: we host our own IRC server, email infrastructure, ftp, shared UNIX computer, NNTP...

university compsci clubs in 2022: google suite is too hard so someone here has a Discord you could join if you know who to ask

@victoria i wish that my cs department/student orgs used irc. it's a lot harder to be racist all the time when you can't just drop in the "plausible deniability racism" images into your messages

@violet @victoria i don't recommend irc as like, the Main Chat you Should Be Using because obviously irc kinda sucks for that, but like,,, surely for a _computer club_ they could do irc no????

@violet @victoria gonna start a ham radio club except instead of actually transmitting stuff we'll just hook up our equipment to Discord Voice Chat :^)

@haskal @violet @victoria bridging a frequency to a discord server does sound very "ham radio club" tbh
