I’m not sure if this was mentioned before, but is posting your discord username on your profile permissible? Also, I hate to put all the twitter drama in this conversation, but Discord is kinda our rescue branch that’s keeping us from falling off that waterfall of having no contact with our game users, thanks to recent Twitter issues.
I’d like to point out that we have “Official” discord servers that prevent the usage of certain words, and these servers are managed by some of our best mods ( @bayat @evaera just to name two out of hundreds).
On these discord servers, we usually maintain a policy that commonly goes by “If you can’t do it on Roblox, you’re not allowed to do it here”.
To end, I’d like to point out that Twitter has garbage, I’ll admit that Discord can too. But we can’t sit down and just put boxes around our users that disadvantage us as developers. I’m not saying you haven’t thought of the consequences, or that you aren’t planning something amazing to make up for our social handle loss, but sometimes we have to take risks for the better. Discord is our social home base, I know there are if’s and but’s about giving Roblox users access to it, but I hope that the pros and cons are wheighed out expertly, and impacts to developers are prevented. I hope for the best…
Edit: Some people thought that I was referring to the Roblox community servers as official, I haven’t. I used official to refer to the discord servers run by the developers, eg. The Jailbreak discord, the Vehicle Simulator discord, Stylis Studios, Novaly Studios, HIdden Developers, etc.
Our games use discord, we use them for codes, and give players prizes in-game if they are in our discords. It’s basically giving us a forum for each game where announcements and prizes can be given. It combines Twitter and forums and puts it in this centralized and widely known application. What could be better?
