As part of the Private Citizen hiatus this month, I am looking at ways of changing the podcast’s website and tightening up the presentation of the whole show. I currently maintain an invite-only Discord server for producers and I have noticed that this is preventing me from giving enough attention to my other Discord server, which I had created for Sixgun Productions and which now serves as a community for fab.industries, including my Twitch streams. To simplify everything and to make sure I have enough time in my day to interact with everyone, I’ve decided to fold the Private Citizen Discord into the fab.industries one and completely revamp the server. For this, I have the following channel structure in mind:
GENERAL
# 🔔-announcements — announcements concerning the Discord server
# 🛎️-meta — how can we improve this server together?
# 😁-bants — hang out with the peeps on the server and shoot the breeze
# 🥳-memes — have fun with memes you pulled off the net
# 🚐-entschleunigung — vanlife, beaking bread, living in a cabin
# 👟-runslingers — get fit by running and cycling together
# 📯-plugs — have you done a thing? tell us about it!
STREAMING
# ⏰-streams — announcements of upcoming streams
# 🚧-backstage — backstage area for streamers
» 🎤-ontheair — streaming voice channel
TECH & SECURITY
# 👨💻-technews — gadgets, gizmos and hacks
# 🔒-security — infosec news and discussion
# 🖥️-development — talk about software development
# ⚒️-unfuckthenews — discuss Fab’s tech newsletter Unfuck the News
POLITICS & PRIVACY
# 📺-thenews — talk about what’s happening in politics around the world
# 👁️-privacy — threats to our privacy and solutions for going OTG
# 🦅-privatecitizen — discuss the Private Citizen podcast
# 📰-panicdemic — comment on Fab’s newsletter and book Pan(ic)demic
ENTERTAINMENT
# 🕹️-games — video games, board games and so forth
# 📚-books — what interesting books have you read lately?
# 📽️-screentime — let’s talk about movies and TV shows
# 🎴-magic — the greatest game ever invented: Magic The Gathering
# 🎲-warhammer — the Warhams, the Space Marines and Stormcast
# 🖖🏻-startrek — all the Star Trek nonsense
# 🎙️-levelonediagnostic — talk about the Level One Diagnostic podcast
# ⚓-grimdeep — discuss Fab’s novel Grim Deep
THE SUBNET
# 🦊-thefoxhole — a special place for special things for special people
# 🎖️-producers — for the Patreon supporters of The Private Citizen
# 🏅-subscribers — an exclusive channel for the Twitch subscribers
# 🧯-mods — this is where the mods discuss mod things
The server will be free to join for anybody. It will include some special roles that grant privileges, though.
- Mod: Server moderators, tasked with keeping the peace. They are the law. They meet in # 🧯-mods and have access to all channels on the server.
- Streamer: Twitch folk I’ve streamed with in the past. They have access to the channels # 🚧-backstage and » 🎤-ontheair.
- Producer: Peeps who support The Private Citizen with a regular monetary contribution. They have access to # 🦊-thefoxhole and # 🎖️-producers channels.
- Subscriber: Subscribers of my Twitch channel have access to # 🦊-thefoxhole and # 🏅-subscribers.
I will enact these changes in the coming days. If something goes wrong and you can’t access things you think you should be able to access, please email me. I will sort out the problem immediately. I hope to see you on the newly refurbished server. If you’re not part of the community already, you can join by using this link.
