Sorry if I’m missing something, just joined and looked over the rules and I saw that we’re only to use chat to discuss stream issues and the discussion is over here on Lemmy. Why not use the discord chat to discuss in real time instead of having to deal with the delay of posting comments?
Thanks for the post @canthidium! My main purpose for starting this community is to drive user engagement and discussion on Lemmy. Discord would work just fine for discussing a movie in real time, but I don’t want to gatekeep that discussion behind Discord for those that don’t use or want that application. Lemmy is the discussion platform we all have in common. Streaming the movie on Discord is just an option that’s available to the host (or another watch party member) for the benefit of those that don’t have access to a copy of the movie, but would still like to watch and join in on the discussion.
TL;DR Discord is just a means to an end of driving engagement and discussion on Lemmy.
If there ever were to be a live chat for this sub, I think it’d be super cool for it to be on matrix rather than discord. I agree though that for now it definitely makes the most sense to keep things on lemmy :)
