FYI, there's already https://discord.gg/zJmwKjJ (found via Reddit), which has over 500 members.

Also at least two others as linked in nodejs/node#17821

We keep our server updated, and we are focus on the community level.
The other link is from 2010. And not maintained -> http://www.nodeslackers.io is offline.

Thoughts, @nodejs/website?

@bnb runs the official discord server IIRC.

Small but important point in case it gets listed: It is unofficial. See https://github.com/nodejs/node#support for what is official and unofficial.

unofficial

Good update :) Edited.

FWIW I'd prefer we list Partner Communities per the @nodejs/community-committee and then also PR this into the Partner Communities list 👍

@Trott I'm sorry, apparently I drew the line I bit differently. Great to know there's an "official" (pun intended) classification I could stick to, moving forwards.

I run the Nodeiflux discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/vUsrbjd), I feel like we're starting to approach fragmentation here. There's also SpeakJS, which isn't listed here and isn't specifically focused on node.js, that's fairly large.

• This seems to be in the wrong place. This would be a better fit in the "Community Discussion" section, it seems, although only because of the oddball inclusion of NodeUp in that section. TBH, this whole page seems a bit of a hodgepodge. It's not clear what kind of getting involved is included on this page and what kind of getting involved isn't.

• There is no need to say "(unofficial)". All (or nearly all?) of these are unofficial. My comment about it being unofficial wasn't a comment on the contents of the PR. It was a response to this comment: Adding NodeJS Discord community to get involved page #1932 (comment)

• It seems wrong to include Node.js Discord and not NodeSlackers.

That's exactly my point: There are several Node.js/JavaScript related Discord communities out there. I think it's unfair to list only one. On the other hand, for a user it isn't very helpful to just list a bunch of Discord servers without further context. I don't know anything about how Discord and its communities work, but it would be nice if there was a way to join forces in the long run, rather than further fragment the user base.

Also +1 on adding NodeSlackers.

So, there hasn't been any feedback lately.

Since we don't want to promote a single unofficial Node.js Discord server (IMHO it should either be all actively maintained ones or none), I'm going to close this PR.
