Check out the Young New Democrats / Jeunes Néo-démocrates community on Discord - hang out with 223 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
From a philosophical standpoint, why would young Canadian leftists be okay with using an American cloud service?
I think organizing via whatever means available is higher priority. Perhaps many who join up via this channel haven't gone through the consciousness development needed to understand why they should do the effort to avoid Discord. It's prolly a bit of meet people where they are situation. Once an organization is formed, on principles that don't have anything to do with the comm platform, it's not difficult change the platform. I hate Discord and even I would have joined up if I was under 30. 😊
Some leftists probably think using a party in electoral democracy is not the ideal vehicle for organizing either. 🤷🏻
To let the opponents see everything!
You have to enter your name, phone, email and provide information about campus activities before joining. Is there anyway to make this more private?
Unfortunately, I think gathering contact info for the purpose of organizing/asking for donations is one of the main forces driving this thing. You're probably not going to find an official party-sanctioned platform that doesn't require a decent amount of personal info. Your best bet is to stick to unofficial communities like this one.
I'm too old :(
What an interesting word "discord". I would easily join a "Peaceful" server in a heartbeat.
