Title: DTF Reddit Chat
Post by: twosuitsluke on April 22, 2024, 11:26:48 AM
Hey, for all the redditors on DTF, I created a reddit chat room. Come say hi for a real time chat...

https://www.reddit.com/c/Dreamtheaterforums/s/nH2e4mstqv (https://www.reddit.com/c/Dreamtheaterforums/s/nH2e4mstqv)

Now, if someone can please explain reddit to TAC.

Didn't know Reddit was working on anything like this. I guess it's their attempt to stay relevant in the Discord age.

That was my first thought, is this their attempt to keep up with Discord?

I know there are a few DTFers who use reddit, as I've run into cramx3, Shadow Ninja and chknptpie in the wild on reddit, to name a few.

I've actually wondered if there was a DTF discord. I've grown to really like that format.

I don't use discord, but if there was a really active DTF discord, I could probably be tempted.

Why does a forum (a place for talking to people) need a Discord (a place for talking to people, except worse)? :lol

There's a Dream Theater discord. Not sure if you are looking for DTF specific.

I don't use it as much, but when I open it I recognize some names, so there is some overlap.

The overlap is pretty small though, but it is active.  I'm in it, but haven't actually looked at it or been active on it in forever.

I do like discord, but when discords are very active, it's not really interesting to me because I just don't have the time or will to be super active in a discord. 

I noticed the new chat thing on reddit and immediately closed it out.  Not really interested in that.  I just don't need live chat streams in my life.  I already mute all my group text messages.  It's just too much chatter for me.  DTF is a good pace for me to keep interested and not feel over whelmed by the constant chatter.

There are however plenty of positives of a discord community like file sharing or streaming and live chatting.  I use it regularly for gaming live chat.

I'm pretty sure the chat option has been there for a while, I disabled it because it's rife with scambaits and such. Unless they had shut it down and later reopened.

I dont know, but when I logged into reddit on Monday morning, which may have been my first time since the previous Friday.  I had notifications of chats.  I had not seen it before and it threw me into a music chat, which I don't ever recall joining.  I quit it and turned it off. That chat was non stop.  I don't have the time to deal with that  :lol
