New Year, New Old Tech
If you’ve been lurking, now’s the time to dust off that VM, dig out that floppy, and jump in. Let’s make this place weird, fun, and alive again.
Rules & Announcements
Channels used to broadcast announcements, proclamations, or other information to all server users. Configuration options such as ping roles, and other important settings also live here
#rules

#announcements‑and‑updates
Announces when new NCommander content is available. :confetti_ball: Automated changelog of wiki edits. Updates to DisNCord, as well as the channel, and community as a whole will be posted here.

Retro Pojects
#retro-hardware

#general
These are the general discussion channels, for any sort of discussion.
#show-and-tell
Monthly challenges? like "Write a play in Word6 for Win3.11", "Get VINES networking working between two VMs," or "Design a modern website in Netscape Composer [or what ever it was called in Netscape 3/4 Gold]" Got something you're proud of to show off?
#no-place-of-honor
This is not a place of honor. No great deeds are commemorated here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us.
On a more serious note, this channel can be seen as the kidneys of DisNCord. In many locations, a "no politics" rule is used as a weapon to prevent discussion of topics that aren't necessarily political in nature. As such, DisNCord explicitly allows good-faith discussions for politics, with the understanding that the server and its community are going to be slated towards the views of both its founder, and the overarching community.
Or in other words; you're free to bring up whatever you want, but do expect to be called on it if the view is horseshit.
#acceptance-corner
Acceptance is a core concept of DisNCord, both accepting who you are, and accepting the state of the world, it's one of the major milestones of healing. While DisNCord has a large LGBTIQA+ community who frequently use these channels, this area is open to whomever needs it.
Staff Lounge
Private channels for server staff.
#mod-discussion
Discussion related to server issues, moderation decisions and more. Essentially the #general channel for staff.
#mod-sysadmin
Discussions related to keeping the wiki, fedi, and other off Discord stuff up and running.
#enforcement-action
A write only channel which documents past mod history and actions.
