I'm considering setting up some kind of discussion platform, for some work-related stuff. The basic requirements:
I know that the kids these days use stuff like discord, which is something I've never really explored. Should I be looking at that kind of thing? Any other suggestions?
- would not be public. So, visible only to those subscribed to it.
- I'd like it to be threaded in a similar way to how it is here. One linear discussion per topic, not forking off into loads of confusing sub-discussions that seems to happen on some platforms.
- easy to post and view images, as well as text
- low admin burden for me (or anyone else helping with admin). I don't think the nature of it would mean that there'd be a lot of moderating; it ought to be fairly well behaved
- I'd want to heavily discourage lurking. That is, the deal would be that you can be a member as long as you actually contribute yourself rather than just freeloading off advice from others. I don't know if there are setups that already have a way of doing this. May be a rather obscure requirement.
