Does anyone know of a vid/chat site that we could use to hang out outside of a forum based communication?
I found one years ago but as nothing is perm, it's gone.
Thanks,

Was thinking about this recently. 

Could use DhO to organize Zoom meetings or a telegram group for chat and video calls? 

I was thinking about a way to be anonymous as we are here and just be able to join a site that can be ongoing.
Dunno if that is possible anymore. I think it might.

Video and anonymity are pretty much mutually exclusive.

Go old-school. IRC ftw!

You can create a discord server.

Or join mine. But I am not exactly 'prag dharma' ... so the rules of engagement in terms of culture are a bit different. But we can learn to get along I suppose.

​​​​​​​In any case join the discord server to get a hang of look and feel and decide if you want to create your own.

Here's an invite:

I forgot to mention. one of the joint owners and my fellow mod of that server, a dear friend of mine, has had a public written spat with Dr. Ingram a few years ago. Since I have invited you, and others reading, its my duty to mention this. We try to avoid personality clashes to the extent we can. But honesty demands that I mention this in case anybody gets offended.

Edit: Also one of the active members, who also happens to be a friend of mine, got booted out of DhO for violating rules.

On second thoughts, maybe this post was not such a good idea!
​​​​​​​anyway ... live dangerously I say!

Was also thinking of IRC.

VIDEO!!!
not irc, not bulletin boards, not email, not social media
why did I bother asking here anyway? Who would want to talk and actually see another human anyway?
Impossible takes time....

"Who would want to talk and actually see another human anyway?"

- Me !

awesome, message me your info then

There is video on discord. It's called voice channel, which is confusing, but there are options for video. You can also have individual video chats with selected people there. You can join discord with an alias and create your own server, where you make your own rules. You can see to it that it doesn't become a forum. 

Well, I'm active there too, and I'm a moderator here. Everyone just decide for yourselves. 

Discord would sound optimal.

@adivader Hey, I would like to check out the discord, if it's open to the "public". Could you post/send me another invite. Thx .

​​​​​​​Hey, here you go.

Thanks

Ok,
I set up a discord server for video chat.
The intention is to chat face to face with others, not post text since we can do that here already.
If you can not video but can chat by voice only, there a channel for that.
No lurking in the video channel if you can't share video and voice. 
Got a problem? Figure it out on your own first. 
Have fun with this experement! It will evolve as it goes along most likely.
I hope people can connect and become friends as many of us have from the Dho.

DreamWalker, can you explain some of the vetting and moderation you plan to do for the Discord channels? This is a public forum and anyone can now join the DhO Discord, DhO member or not.

​​​​​​​Thanks.

Vetting is only an idea to allow any moderator to vouch for anyone that they first hand video'd face to face. Dunno how exactly that might be used (or useful) or not until it is tried. If the general channel gets clogged with chatter, the private verified channel should be quieter....maybe. 

As far as moderation goes, If people insist on being assholes then at any moderators discretion ....kick them out/off.
​​​​​​​Guess we will figure that out on the fly, but I trust all the people who got Moderator status to help figure out what is what.

True, the discord server is open access to anyone, as is the Dho. The difference is that on discord, it is expected that people video. Maybe it is slightly more difficult to create multiple accounts on discord and video chat face to face with multiple accounts.

You betcha,
Just trying to let people connect more often and maybe closer....as us old timers have done.

Old invite expired.... Fixed that hopefully.....new invite -->
