[Air-L] AOIR Discord?

[Steven Clift]

If there was (and maybe there is) a Discord plug-in that could be set to
send a daily or weekly digest to a set email list/address, that would be
nifty. And vice versa, a daily table of contents digest with links to the
archives of this list.

Since my college freshman son lives on Discord, I figure there is an
opportunity to connect students across schools with intent who are
interested in AoIR themes. The question is how you go about attracting
critical mass participation when launching on any new platform?
