A Public Discord Server...
3 years ago
General
I am... considering it. A place for folks to keep up with my writing, listen to my brainstorming, etc.
I am admittedly a bit... nervous about it. Yes it would certainly help me to grow my audience, keep in touch with friends and fans of my stuff.
But as a mod in another server, and seeing the issues that come with moderating a public Discord server and having to deal with folks who cause trouble without actually breaking any rules, it's... stressful. I'd definitely need some mods around to help. But it feels weird asking others to help with that without giving anything in return. ^~^'
So yeah, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I don't think making it a Patreon exclusive thing is the proper answer either. Am curious as to y'alls thoughts?

Other than that, you may be the best judge on whether or not you think it's a good idea. Take the time to think about it for yourself. It's important it remains fun for you.
be sure to disable the ability for other people to invite others though if you do this ;)
small servers are the best, and you're under no obligation to run a public one.
