@… Bob I’m not sure I can communicate how important this project was and is to the Eleventy project. The gathering of resources is such a show of support and it definitely picked up my spirits a few times when I was really feeling down this last year. Really appreciate you ❤️

So, I've been recently having a conversation with several folk about Slack vs Discord and which platform may be more advantagous for organizing events and building community. I and others were surprised to learn of how wide the gulf is on various people's ranges of experiences on each service, in terms of community, harassment, security tools, and users feeling welcomed.
I recognize that my experience as a femme-presenting person who uses my real identity is different from that of an anonymous person with a profile photo showing a bearded guy in a Patagonia vest holding up an IPA. This tracks with the discussions I've had today: tech bros generally seem to lean toward one platform while all of my other business-owning women friends opt to steer away from that service almost entirely.
If you're femme and use your real identity online, do you have a preference for Slack or Discord? Have you ever opted out of using either Slack or Discord? In addition to discussion of general vibes and security tools, we also can all recognize that there are some surveillance/privacy tradeoffs in play, as well. (Just as, if you're an organizer, maybe you have thoughts about which service offers tools or features or pricing that steers you one way or another, as well?)

"In a regulatory filing on Monday, Trump Media said it lost $58.2 million in 2023, compared with a profit of $50.5 million in 2022.
The Truth Social owner generated just $4.1 million in revenue, although that was up from $1.5 million in 2022.”
Honest question: how do you have $50M profit on $1.5M revenue? I seem to misunderstand the terms.

Trump’s net worth plunges $1 billion as his media stock tumbles
Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group disclosed Monday that it lost more than $58 million and generated very little revenue in 2023.
