We have over 2,300 users on the server and it has generated a lot of fantastic discussion between staff and editors. I'd really appreciate you not twisting my words. I clearly said: "those on discord are on" (as in that is fine) and "If you have information there too that is fine".

I am in no way trying to shut down or discourage the use of discord but when fandom's tone comes across as pushing/force feeding, as feedback, I am encouraging you to maybe use a less finite or absolute tone like If you're not on our official Discord server, you should definitely join.

MisterWoodhouse wrote: That's such a minor thing, the verbiage. Are you sure it wasn't influenced by your dislike for Discord and our strategy with it? When you come across as pushing and force feeding something someone doesn't want, yes, verbiage can be the difference between reaction and non-reaction. And to be fair it isn't even the fact it is discord- any third party app that would require me to have yet another account to have full use of your platform IS the pet peeve.
