Re: Psychlonic's Supplement Counter

Re: Hey everyone

Worth a try. Discord isn't exactly private (chat messages are monetized, no E2EE) but maybe we can find some people who are into night ops. And it at least has SSL which makes it more secure in that respect than NONET right now. Some of our more paranoid members may not want to use it though.

If you think about it, we kind of already have a selection process for respected users. Maybe we can piggyback off that, allow these users to choose a custom status when the criteria are met.
