👾 In Talks of a Discord server. 👾
Hey guys! It's Techie (just a student...doesn't work at Maestro >.<)
So it's greet meeting you all and hearing all your guys' stories and feel for Maestro so far! I've met so many people, some from Maryland, some from the Midwest--like me--Indiana (I'm from Chicago), some from Montana. It's great hearing people with different backgrounds and stories <3. I'm sure we'd all love a personal space to share more of those. I was talking to u/Lazriel86 , u/Magma4evar, and even our wonderful product owner u/Cool_stuff2 (Amit) 👾! about making a discord server. So far, talking to Amit, it seems interesting to have one once we all get our student emails--that way we can utilize Discord's Student Hub (https://discord.com/student-hubs). I'm assuming this would be good, since it would ensure only students/faculty/staff with a @ maestro.org email address will be the only ones to have access.
That being said, some of us too impatient for the semester to start!! haha jk. But I think it would be so bad to have like a "temporary one-month/till semester starts" unofficial discord server--then delete it when the semester starts--just as a way for people to get "more personal than reddit". As I said in an earlier post (paraphrasing): Reddit = Anonymity + Transparency ; Discord = Identity + Personal Communication. We're not going to make the discord server *yet, till we get the blessing from u/Cool_stuff2 or other admin. But me and the others I mentioned are working on it today. Hopefully we have it released by the end of the day!
Here's the server icon I made with ChatGPT (get it? cuz we're learning AI? lol). Feel free to ask/discuss about the potential of a discord server! 💚 --what you guys would like to see. Love to hear from you guys! (Btw, the clover's name is "Mae" 🍀)
