Discord Hangout This Thursday
🕑 Added 2017-09-25 03:57:57 +0000 UTC Dear 15+ Patrons,I'll be hosting my September Discord hangout this Thursday. The hangout will begin at 6pm Eastern Time and last a couple hours.
If you're new to Discord here's how it works:
Discord is an app that you can run in your browser that basically works just like an old-fashioned chatroom. The advantage over Google hangouts is you can have more than 10 people in chat at once.
I have my own ContraPoints server, which is made and moderated by fans and not closely supervised by me except during patron hangouts. Within the server there are different text-chat channels, like #general, #books, #politics, etc. There are also voice-chat channels where you can do audio chat. We'll use one of these called "Patron-Chat" to do the hangout tomorrow.
The first thing you need to do to get connected is join the server, using this invite link: https://t.co/x6sHJ9ZyPj
Once you're in the server, go back to Patreon. Go to your account settings (the gear icon). Go to the "Account" tab. Scroll down to "Connections." In the "Discord" section there should be a button that says "Connect." Click that and you should be automatically added to the "15 Patrons" role on my Discord, which will give you access to the Patron-Chat voice channel.
It sounds complicated, I know, but you should only have to do this once! Let me know if you have any questions.
Talk to you on Thursday!

Yippee! I'll try to tune in and chat in the text if I can while at work.
