Why Skype to Discord?
Why did you skip Skype and go on with Discord? Seriously, why?!

- There's a bunch of reasons! The ones I can think of right now are:
- Developed primarily for gaming communities
- NIWA and several other NIWA wikis already use it
- No advertisements
- More control over a server with user roles, channels, bots, etc.
- So far, I think the switch was a good one. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'll extend that!
- Easier joining
- Does not require all your personal information
- Browser web-client actually works
- Large voice chat
- Push to talk
- File transfer is quicker
- Block formatting of text. Skype trims whitespace.
- Can integrate with other services via bots, e.g. posting of Splatoon rotations or Twitter messages...
- Rooms are part of a server and keep conversations on topic. Skype requires separate chats, which get lost easily.
- Discord is lighter on system resources and starts up much more quickly.
- Has online/offline/idle/streaming. Skype requires you have people in your contacts to see this information.
- It's free. Skype has a paid plan for better features.

Should Inkipedia use an independent Discord server?
Currently, Inkipedia uses the ABXY Discord server, a server used for several wikis.
Some ABXY Discord users have requested a separate, independent Inkipedia Discord server.
This is a community vote and discussion about the idea.
To see what an independent Inkipedia Discord server could look like, use this invite link: https://discord.gg/mG8x5hAq.
If this community vote supports the idea, then the plan is roughly this:
- Create Inkipedia Discord. Most of the work is already done: https://discord.gg/mG8x5hAq.
- Prioritize wiki discussion, and allow Splatoon and general discussion as well, with channels for each topic.
- Have rules that mostly mirror Inkipedia policy.
- Have a mostly separate staff, with current Inkipedia wiki staff welcome and encouraged to join the Inkipedia Discord staff.
- Keep the old channels open on ABXY Discord, as there are years of discussions in the #inkipedia and #splatoon channels.
Please vote and discuss your thoughts and ideas. Heddy (talk) 20:06, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
