I think it used to, but that was before I joined. I think it got deleted in favor of the forums!

Well, I’ll be honest. I think a discord may be a fun experience. Unlike makecode arcade, Discord could provide real-time conversations that can create stronger bonds and make better understandings between the people of makecode arcade, rather than waiting an entire day for 2 replies. Though on the cons side, this would be non-monitored. The purpose of the Makecode Team on the forums to monitor the actions of those around them. This is all the members of Makecode Arcade. And for example, the ConeGuy vs. Hyper was an example. It had a chance to get heated over certain issues, not that it would, but it still could’ve happened. And with nobody to monitor, it’s important to acknowlegde that things could get out of hand. I think that if we were to make a Discord Server for the people of makecode arcade, we would need definite permission from the Team.

Hmm, I can’t find a way to join it again. I was a part of it once but it seems it’s gone now. Even back then it was dead, since the forum existed already. All I can find now is some unofficial server and I don’t even know who’s running that

That’s 100% a safety risk, makecode wants this to be heavily moderated chat!
Without delayed moderation they would have to have staff online in chats 24/7.

Hi all. As you may be aware, our Code of Conduct prohibits discussion around meeting up on external services, including Discord, so we’ll be closing this thread down.

Sarge already mentioned this above, but for what it’s worth, we previously had a MakeCode Discord, but we shut it down once these forums started up. Our ability to moderate is an important part of keeping this community friendly for all, and we aren’t able to do that outside of here. If you do see any MakeCode-related Discords, please know that those are not endorsed or monitored by us.

Thanks,
MakeCode Forum Admins
