Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Discord
Wikimedia District of Columbia has its own Discord server!
What it is and why you should use it
[edit]Discord is messaging software you can access on the web or through a downloadable application.
Use our Discord server to talk with others in the Wikimedia DC community, share DC-related articles/photos, chat during edit-a-thons or other events, and plan activities. If you have other ideas for how we could use it, please share!

If you've never used Discord before, you'll need to verify your email before you can do much of anything.
When you first join, you'll only have access to two channels: #welcome and #rules.
Now it's time to connect your Discord account with your Wikipedia account, which is necessary to access all other channels. Type /auth in #welcome and WikiAuthBot will contact you by direct message. Look for a new icon with a little "1" circled on top of it along the left of your screen to find the bot's message. If you keep your messages disabled, you will need to allow them temporarily so the bot can contact you. As soon as you do this, you will be added to the "authenticated" role and you will be able to see the main chat channels.
