Proposed Channels

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

The rules of the server, posted for quick reference. More detailed information may be available on the wiki. Lets users toggle user selected roles. Currently, there are role selectors for pronouns, and specific pin roles, as documented below.

#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.

#welcome

wave: Discord's automatic announcements for new users appear here

Retro Pojects

#retro-hardware

Talk about older hardware; questions and photos

#retro-software

Talk about older software (not specifically on older hardware) Help with running old OSes on VMs

Mainframe

The Central Hub

#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.
