fall Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hi people, I've been on Discord recently and I thought it would be interesting if AVEN made a central Discord server. Discord is a very fast and reliable messaging and voice chat service , and I think the community would benefit from a nice new place for aces. More info on Discord here. Feel free to leave comments, compliments or criticism. 🍰 Link to post Share on other sites
Pramana Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 There are a number of asexual/aromantic spectrum community Discord servers that you can join. Reddit has one, 4chan has one, Arocalypse has one, Tumblr has a few, and last but not least a pitch for the "Chill Asexual Discord" that I like to use, which can be joined here: https://discord.gg/6wgBr5n Link to post Share on other sites
Colour Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 There's also a chat on this site.. But it unfortunately is hardly used. (8 people online as I write this). So it might be a good idea to get a group chat / discord / something up, because I'd be surprised if fewer people would use it.

My bad, I didn't see this reply! So it's already a thing. 32 online at the "Chill" group. Link to post Share on other sites
kani Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Chill is not in any way official btw, there's quite few other asexual servers as well (besides the ones mentioned by PRAMANA), varying in size, activity and other qualifications. I suppose AVEN could make an official server as well. Link to post Share on other sites

I was aware there was a chat, but I don't know where on the site it actually is. Not that I've been looking terribly hard. But I wonder if it would be used more if it were a little more visible. Edit: I saw it as soon as I hit "Submit Reply". I still don't think it's particularly visible, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The chat was a lot better a year or two ago, but AVEN had to change because the chat service they were using originally was discontinued. We also used to use Skype a lot back a few years ago, I'm not sure how active the chats are anymore because I'm not on Skype much anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
mischevious_koala Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Chat was fun when it was active, even in my timezone when less people were on. I've been looking into trying to find a Discord community (long story short, not many of my friends are into the stuff I'm into lol) but I feel a bit awkward about joining since I'm more of a forum lurker and only know a few people on AVEN. I've always been a bit shy and apprehensive on the internet, despite my outgoing persona. Link to post Share on other sites
GutsyCowardLep Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 would be interesting experience in the least. would love to play some videogames with some other asexual people Link to post Share on other sites
Pramana Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm kind of surprised that AVEN doesn't have a Discord server, instead of its much maligned chat service. My surprise is compounded by the fact that AVEN pays money for its chat service, whereas Discord servers are free to use. Link to post Share on other sites

Solacer Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Since lockdown and the current pandemic, we have been having more success with Discord in our group, Utah Asexuals. We have a bi-weekly online discussion group that is hosted by one of our organizers, Raven. She has yet to post the upcoming activities in 2022, but if you are interested in joining the discord server, which being online, you do not need to live in Utah to participate, Utah Asexuals Discord link. You can view up coming events on our meetup page at www.meetup.com/SLC-Aces Link to post Share on other sites
