It's very unofficial!
There'll probably be some negative comments about discord. I know that many people dislike discord. (Side note: I hope more founders build discord alternatives)
If you're active on discord and would like a HN channel, feel free to join.
The server has the same guidelines as HN:
> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Intentions for the server:
More of the Ask HN and Show HN discussion type content, including early feedback before show HN posts. Less intimidating to join the convo.
