Info Community Update: Transitioning from Slack to Discord

[Jimmy]

Hi everyone,

After reviewing activity levels and overall engagement, we’ve decided that we will be officially closing our Slack Community Server for chat and shifting our primary community hub over to Discord.

Over time, Discord has become significantly more active and better suited for real-time discussions, events, and community interaction.

We’re also working on some fun ideas for upcoming events, community activities, and interactive opportunities within Discord. We’ll share more details once everything is finalized.

Important: This transition will not replace any of our current events or activities on FP. The forum will always remain our core platform. Discord will simply allow us to expand certain events and create more real-time community interaction alongside what we already do.

I never did join or used slack anyway 🙂 Those that where never big fans of Discord, we see if you get used to it.

I have always personally preferred Discord. It is a lot better in my opinion due to the variety of features. Slack is nice in certain ways, but most of it is locked behind a paywall.

Slack is really something more enterprise stuff. Good decision to go back to Discord. Never truly understood why FP needed Slack,

Unfortunately, Discord is going to start asking for your papers soon. Otherwise, it's a good platform for casual interaction.

From what’s been shared so far, it sounds like the requirements may primarily affect users who access certain types of sensitive content or users in specific regions. Hopefully the implementation ends up being reasonable and doesn’t create unnecessary friction for existing users.

From our perspective, Discord still provides a really strong environment for real-time conversations, community interaction, and events, which is why we feel it’s a good fit for expanding that side of the community.

Yeah that's why I use Root right now. I only have a Discord account for Sonic related things, but I'm hoping I can convince them to move to Root lol. Root is better than Discord. 😛

That is correct. You wouldn't need to verify your ID if for example you made a payment on Discord before.

So, if I have nitro, I don’t have to upload my ID? Uploading my ID was my primary concern because I don’t want my information to get stolen.

From my understanding it can help possibly but not 100%. It seems like it will be more targeted towards accounts trying to view age-restricted content / servers. But we will see once it rolls out.

Yeah, I guess there’s nothing else we can do but wait. There’s just so many questions that are left unanswered. 🤣

I've always preferred Discord myself. There's much more you can do in Discord than on Slack, so I think this is a good decision. 🌸

Maybe I'll join the Discord later today since they're not making me give them my ID yet. 😂

You not in the UK, you have too lol

I'm sure it won't be long before it's required everywhere. It's a backdoor national ID card.

The Discord server is pretty fun, though!
