With a few folks emailing me asking about the Discord, I thought I would
put this the link to the app invite again out there for folks that might
want to give it a try. It will direct you to download the Discord app and
to create an account. Once you've joined, there's even a #tech-support
channel in there if you're curious about how to generally use Discord
(things like notifications can be a little complicated at first — mainly
because they are super customizable).
