Is CaptainDuckDuck on Slack or Discord?

[benjaminboruff]

Might be good to setup CaptainDuckDuck on Slack/Discord so we can all try to help each other. It may prevent unneeded new issues.

EDIT: SLACK ADDED:

We don't have a Slack group yet, but we have a small Telegram group:
We have Slack now:
#13 (comment)

We might expand it to Slack soon though.

Discord maybe better :P

I would vote for Slack over Discord, just because you can put in code snippets and have them formatted. Not so much on Discord

Actually Discord support Code Blocks.

Discord requires setting up a server and someone to manage it (moderator, spam filtering, updates, load balancing, etc.)

Slack is much simpler.

Discord is definitely viable if the community interested in its development is big enough.

I'll be happy to move Telegram group to Slack. But what are the pros of Slack compared to Telegram?

[j7an]

Here's a comparison: https://www.slant.co/versus/4553/4568/~slack_vs_telegram

The biggest benefit is integration into apps like Trello and Github. I'm not sure about Telegram, but with Trello integration into Slack, you can assign tasks to contributors via Trello board. When tasks are in progress / completed, a notification should automatically get sent to the Slack channel.

In the future when there's automation tests created for the project, any committed code can automatically start a CI workflow that automatically runs the automation tests. Notification for these can also appear in the Slack channel. Again, not sure about Telegram.

@j7an you dont need to do all of this on Discord. You have the same steps with discord just like with slack. You need to create team, or server its the same thing. It's not selfhosted service or somthing like that. With discord you have waay more control, and all that for free. And i dont get it "updates, load balancing" ? Where on discord you need to do this? This is not TS or Mumble.

I think the sooner we move to either of the chat servers, it will be better for the community. telegram is not a platform most devs are used to. Gitter, Slack and Discord are the big three that I have seen pretty much every project use.

Discord is much preffered
