We currently have a 145-person Facebook Messenger group being used for Taco Tuesday (TT), mostly people in SF. It's where I post weekly notifications that it's happening.
Right now, people keep posting off-topic stuff there. There's a Taco Tuesday Lounge messenger chat in principle, in practice it's not used that much. So I'm thinking about another Discord server.
Pros:
Better organization. A 100+ person messenger chat is pretty unwieldy
Discord can have different channels for on-topic vs off-topic vs other conversations
Taco Tuesday kind of has its own community now, and a Discord server would help facilitate more community conversations
Some people don't use Messenger
Cons:
Some people don't use Discord
People may not want another place to check messages
It's simple to have the Messenger chat just be "your weekly notification that TT is happening"
I'm not super excited to moderate yet another Discord server (but TT would probably be low-stress)
Resolves to YES if I've decided to set up a Discord server for TT by market close; NO otherwise.

@Austin I think the people who do mind the giant group Messenger chat just leave the chat. Imo, moderate less and have both messenger and discord groups. You only have to update each of them with time/location of taco tuesday, which is a quick copy paste.

This is kind of what I'm worried about -- people leaving the chat and then not attending Taco Tuesday anymore, whereas they might have if TT chat were less noisy? In my head, the group messenger chat is solely for announcing the weekly event (basically a once-a-week mailing list) and not for random convos; but other people want to use it differently.
@Austin definitely true. I like the idea of both since people have options. People kinda just go off topic in group chats, so as long as the discord link is readily available in the messenger group, others have a place to check important taco tuesday info without all the spam.
