What are the advantages/benefits of a GC discord? What kind of activities go on there?

It mainly serves as a place to hangout and chat with other GC-ers. A lot of discussion goes on in there.

Group chats or one-on-one? Chats about ideas or personal matters, with or without the intent of hooking up? Sorry, not trying to be difficult. The little I know about discord is that it's for gaming/chatting whilst gaming.

In general it is like Skype but more advanced and aimed on younger auditory.

So it's screen/video chats where everyone shows their faces?

What does "younger auditory" mean? People with youthful hearing?

What does "younger auditory" mean?

It has automatic integration with streaming programs, with gaming and similar things (like TikTok or whatever) which are mainly popular among teens and young adults. Have flashy icons and paid animated emoji.

So it's screen/video chats where everyone shows their faces?

With ability for "only-text" chats, or "voice-only" chats. And unlike Skype, on one server there can be many different rooms, each room with their own private settings or passwords. So in general it is better than Skype, but their Terms of Servise are saying that they can be selling your "unpersonalized" info to advertisers, so I am prefering not to use it. Zoom ToS are even worse, thought. Seems almost all new programs have similar point in ToS.

Basically group chats. We don't hook up in there haha, and sharing very personal identifying info is discouraged. You really can talk about anything in there, but usually the conversations are about gc matters. We do not do video chats in that server because the concern for user privacy is high.

I'm interested in joining but I'm worried about people I know finding out. Do you know if others can see what discords someone is part of?

Don't worry, other people won't be able to view if you're in this server, unless they are also in the server. You can also make an alt with a different username for the server if you are still paranoid though.

I joined quite a while ago, but for some reason, I can't post messages or view them anymore. Is it because I don't post much?

Really? Well in the beginning we unmembered some users to avoid lurkers, but if you'd like to join the rest of the server again i recommend you pm one of the mods.
