Thoughts about the discord server. (Maybe if I should ope...

Heya gamers
For those of you that know (or don't know), I've experimented with having a semi-public server that has been invite only for a good while now. I've been debating making it open link, but some things have had me have reservations to that, and I kinda wanna ask people's thoughts on it here?
Some quirks I've had with it:-
- Due to being someone that draws different stuff, there's a fair few different scatterings of kink fans out there! Which sometimes there will be a moment of discomfort between them with kink differences, sometimes drama. I imagine making seperate channels would help with this, though how many different categories would there be? I normally categorise stuff into 'TF', 'Absorption', 'Mergeplay', can be into just one, two, or all three of course. Does that work? Or should I split more?
- People trying to get way too close to get access to admin tools. This is gonna be something I'd only grant to people I've known for like 2 years or over at minimum, even if I'm clunky at server handling I like the challenge of figuring it out with advice sometimes, just not 'give me full access and let me install these plugins for you uwu', then blocking me when I don't bulge :v
- RP stuff. I'll admit, I used to do it myself to a minor degree, though with other servers I've been in it gets confusing when a group of folk's name ends up being 'Popular person's bra/padding'. A quirk of TF/vore adjacent folks indeed.
- The heralders of paws, may the soft, plush beans bless you in their holy embrace, pressing you down into the fuzzy socks. Probably turning you into them or something.
- People joining only to join a new server. You guys are great and it's wonderful to see new folk, but oh boy you're gonna get weirded out fast if you've not seen what I tend to draw. I guess for this I'd have to make a landing channel to explain with rules and maybe have roles.
- Coming up with events or activities. With this it'd mostly be gaming stuffs, though if anyone knows my choices for gaming it's a bit chaotic and not very mainstream. Maybe I could do raffles at some point, though I'd not call it guaranteed.
Whichever way I go. I'll probably have to restructure the bloody thing at some point. So it might be some time before I get around to it. With art stuff and attempting to code game stuff badly, I doubt this'll be at the top of my list to do. Maybe if someone is experienced with discord, and I've known you for a long while, you could hit me up sometime about it.
For those that wanna join, hit me up on discord PMs and I can let you know (18+ only of course), though it's a fairly quiet spot and it might end up just be another place to see my art or bullshit with me or fellow Shalewd-brained dorks.
I have thought about making a telegram channel too, but it'd have to be read-only if I did with comments, having only one thread can be chaos.
Tldr;
Discord servers are very interesting. Lemme know if it's a good idea to open mine up or keep it ask only invite.

I highly recommend you do NOT create any open invites.
I know a public server for another kind of fetish content that came from public to private on invite in order to avoid the problems over there, even though it won't completely reduce these risks.
It's up to you. Making it public might bring you new people to your audience, but keeping it private filters it a bit and keeps people that really wants to follow your work.
And as for the people that are RPing, calling themselves "president's sock" or whatever or wanting the admin roles... It's the usual kinky discord server thing i guess lmao
Wish you a good and chill and active server, nice people here and best team of moderators/admins and also don't worry if something goes wrong on the server, everything can be fixed with right solution, bot and tool.
