Heard back from jaybberwocky and dressedlike. They might pop their heads in when they have time. Pinged lemon as well. I think that’s almost everyone yeah? We should established migration buddies haha

I let HurstbridgeLine know where we are. She might pop in tomorrow.

I feel like we might lose some to Discord. Hopefully we don't but we'll see.

[–] BigWhiteDog@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Discord, from my experience, is just chaotic. Unless you are on it full time you have no hope of catching up with the day's goings on

[–] landsharkkidd@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

I like discord, I use it a lot. But man, a daily threads on discord sounds like hell tbh.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

That’s my concern too.

[–] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've been looking at the discord since the blackout. It's not it imo.

[–] OIP@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

yeah it's chaos, the reddit collapsible convo format as minimal as possible is the best for a DT-esque experience. it's actually an interesting case study

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Ah, cool - good to know. I know I complained about some of the other subs in Reddit, but Discord is a whole different kettle of fishes at times.

The damn migration happened so quickly I was caught out smelling the roses.

Consider my head officially popped… wait, that sounds so fucking wrong. Never mind. Heyoo!

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve gotta say your sense of timing is impeccable! Yeah a couple more days to plan might’ve been nice. But hey it’s all worked out rather well!

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s pretty wholesome seeing the same DT crew on another platform. Even more amazing is everyone making sure they’re all keeping track of where everyone is going. I’m glad my vibe check on the amazing DT was the same as so many amazing peeps.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah every time I think about it my heart kinda swells a little. Thanks to the efforts of the early pioneers and the mods here it’s all worked out rather nicely!

It was a bit magical through the day as more regulars appeared here and were greeted with joy each time😍

Stompsie, NUfan,Steve00 here yet?

[–] OIP@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

just_kitten, ghostghost, big-yeti, mycatsnameisgibson, a bunch of others too.. wholesome seeing this platform actually work, hopefully everyone that might want to join knows about it

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I've reached out to just_kitten (I'm sure others have also).

[–] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Just noticed that the blackout on Reddit means I can't even access my older comments - there's a couple of others that I'm trying to remember their exact handle to see if I can hit them up on Reddit and send them this way. I think I saw Steve00 in here though.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I believe someone was going to reach out to stompsie?

[–] the_procrastinata@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I thought Stompsie was around last night?
