[Air-L] AOIR Discord?

[Kat Brewster]

Consider this my vote for one big long chain letter, sent by post, where we
draw little pictures of computers for each other and photocopied preprints
with notes in the margins.

I don’t even think I’m kidding!

(in all seriousness, Discords have a whole host of bureaucratic concerns
that can take an outsized amount of time and effort to organise — like
ongoing moderation needs, especially. godspeed to all who facilitate a
Discord! you are braver than me.)
