About the creation of a support channel
Today, after my own relief talk on Discord's channel #general_discussion, Nederbird put forward a proposal in favour of the creation of a channel dedicated to listening and advice those who seek confort (or advices) in a period of blues. For the sake of ufficialization of such discussion and tidyness of votes and reasons/proposals about it, this thread has been created.
The following have been noted:
- Such a channel may mislead people from seeking professional attention, but could also mean that anyone going there could be adviced to seek professional attention.
- It may be subject to trolls, even if we had nearly none of them since the chat is up.
- This is especially sensible as topic, as people there should be promised a safe heaven to talk, not be interrupted or joked about.
- It has been proposed to institute a "support" role in order to counter this problem, but some have debated that at this point a private message or a user-created chat room of 10 people tops, as offered by Discord, would be the same if not better.
- This is especially sensible as topic, as people there should be promised a safe heaven to talk, not be interrupted or joked about.
Please state what you think about it below.
