Discord Backup Plan: Root Community Server
Summary
ℕ𝕖𝕜𝕠𝕟𝕚 𝕃𝕠𝕧𝕖 ℂ𝕦𝕝𝕥 🔞 is monitoring reports of possible Discord restrictions and has created a backup community on Root, a Discord-like social platform. The announcement explains that a VPN may be needed if access is blocked, while migration to Root remains a last resort.
I've been hearing news about Discord being banned already or some people in the country depending on the ISP. I've already made a back-up server using Root (https://www.rootapp.com/), which is basically a Discord clone. It still needs a few tweaks but at least it won't be too tedious to rebuild the entire server.
If worse comes to worst, VPN may be needed to access the server here on Discord. But I know some can't really afford to spend for a subscription for a good VPN. Last resort would probably be to migrate to Root.
For now I'll keep watch on the local news. So far, Discord and Reddit have agreed to the terms of our government so there shouldn't be a complete ban just yet.
