Hello everyone!
In an effort to bring our community into the 2020s, and ensure our long time survival if anything should ever happen to BlooMilk or the Facebook Groups degrade by Meta removing features, I wanted to create an alternate hosting site over at Discord for members to congregate.
You can join with this invite link here.
https://discord.gg/c3jVHt3sDiscord could never replace Bloomilk, so I've made sure there's links everywhere promoting BlooMilks great functions, but as I hope to preserve and grow this community for years and years to come, I'd love to create a fun and safe space for everyone to come to.
If you're not familiar with Discord, it's a mix of text and voice based forums, you can engage in voice or video discussion, but also share text and image and links in the various discussion threads.
Not only do I hope to preserve our current community for the future with Discord as a backup, but I hope to draw in younger fans who might be scared off by Bloomilk's forum format. While I think many of us grew up on forums, Star Wars is hopefully eternal, and only last week I was trying to see some Gen Z fans on the game and they asked if there was a discord. Then the idea was born!
My only ask is we keep it civil there, I want it to be a pleasant space for Star Wars Fans of kinds. You don't have to pretend to like anything you don't, but please let's just keep the temperature down. I think we all come here because we love Star Wars and I'm sure we can all get along.
So, I hope you join me on this Discord, which I emphasize is NOT intended to replace this wonderful, beautiful site, indeed I hope it leads people from Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube to this fantastic site.
