How has your experience been running a discord server? I imagine it's useful for feedback but time consuming to manage? I'm reluctant to start one as I'm concerned about the time consumption.

Also, how did you find Jon and what was their skillset when you met? Did they come on as a contractor in the beginning?

I think managing any community is time consuming, but I like that discord feels real-time and efficient, with fun emojis, easy media sharing, and a mix of text channels and forum channels.

For the first few years, I was up at all hours answering questions. It feels amazing to offload some of that now that we have more of a team.

Like he mentioned in another comment here, Jon actually found me.
