Discord Hangout Today
🕑 Added 2017-08-13 08:27:37 +0000 UTC Dear $15+ friends,Just a reminder that the Discord patron hangout will be today at 1pm and again at 8pm Eastern time (I'm hoping most who want to will be able to make one time or the other). If it's your first time on the Discord, try to join at least ten minutes before the hangout—that way I or a mod can help you troubleshoot.
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, and 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 soon! <3
