Lu Posted October 21, 2015 I would be a proponent of disabling giphy outside of the gif channel thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennegatron Posted October 22, 2015 I like that giphy exists. I turned off the auto preview for all images/tweets/links though, not because of giphy but instead i was tired of youtube videos and stuff absorbing so much space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mangela Lansbury Posted October 22, 2015 could we disable giphy outside of gif-chat and have the best of both worlds? i would be okay with this. even with everything set to auto-hide the doodad whatchermajig, the actual loading of giphy gifs still causes some lag in the chat and it's annoying.

SpekX Posted October 25, 2015 I don't know anything about Slack but Discord is really easy to get into. You can just share one link and anybody with access to that link can join the server through their web browser. It's pretty slick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darthbator Posted October 28, 2015 The nice thing about slack is that it's something that a lot of people just tend to have open for other purposes anyways. It's a nice kind of side channel I think (also it's easy to get into and there's a way to automate the sign up process). I would actually love to get a Discord group as well. While my IRC friends are all heading into slack a bunch of my gaming friends are now on discord. Well that's pretty easy I'll put the link for this in the top thread as well. https://discord.gg/0beO5YmLScBp2XsF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted October 28, 2015 (I think it would've made more sense to just do Discord from the start, but I actually only learned about it like immediately after the Slack blew up, haha.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darthbator Posted October 28, 2015 I actually like slack more as a chat platform. They a have a reasonable API and highlight service integrations and stuff. For things like Wizard Jam that will actually probably be pretty useful. Discord is more for voice chatting and games stuff? It's insane you can't link your steam to this. Oh they have some black magic that can see what game is running... Also it doesn't have giphy so it's like immediately inferior right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jennegatron Posted October 28, 2015 I created an extra channel for sports on the idle thumbs readers slack because I know some people do not like them! Come talk to me about basketball! Or talk about the world series, if you managed to stay awake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
