I feel that Discord-like platforms can be useful sometimes, especially if you want to have a conversation in real-time.

I run a sissy Discord that’s intended for more intellectual discussions, and I’d be happy to link it to /c/sissy to drive activity. However, I also totally understand if it would be better to create a whole new server, or (better yet) use an open-source alternative to Discord. After all, decentralization is important no matter what platform you’re using!

What do you sissies think~?

Addendum: I think a Matrix/Element room would be best, but in the interim I’ve set up an IRC channel, #sissy_discussion on Rizon. Below is a link to a web client, everyone is welcome to join!

    Apologies for my lack of clarity. My idea is that users of r/sissyology will click on a link to take them to [survey URL], and the webpage of [survey URL] will mention https://lemmynsfw.com/c/sissy - which some respondents may proceed to. I can’t imagine that the reddit auto-censors could beat this, but you’d know better than me (Edit: the survey isn’t even key to the approach, the key piece is a 3rd-party website that you can add content to that isn’t blacklisted by reddit)

      Oh no worries, I got that idea! I was just wondering if there was any way to link it natively on Reddit without having to do so through the survey

        I’m not a web dev, but here are my ideas! To link it, you might be able to use an on-demand URL shortening site, like tinyurl. You could also tell people what the relatively simple link is in a cryptic way that an interested human would be able to figure it out, but the regular expressions (or whatever reddit uses) wouldn’t. If you venture into promoting a reddit alternative on their site, however, you probably take on risk of them finding out and deleting your account. So, I wouldn’t use your regular Sissy Sophia account if I were you, and I’d probably take other privacy steps, like VPN

          Thanks for mentioning this, as it definitely could be a concern. I do like your idea of using intermediaries though.

          By the way - and I know this is out of left field - I’m trying to bring together a roundtable group of moderators and content creators to work on some things for the sissy community, such as an accepted defintion of what a “sissy” is, a symbol and pride flag for sissies, and other projects. Would you be interested?

            I’m flattered and yes, I’d definitely be interested in learning more at least ☺️
