“UPDATE 6/2023: I am disappointed in Kate and Doree’s decision to move to a paid Discord model over keeping the Facebook groups. Discord doesn’t work like FB does in the way of threading, and is more suited for DM-style conversation. Furthermore, making a community that is paid will alter the type of voices you have in that community, and as a group who once was great about being aware inclusion, equity, etc., being two white women abandoning the unpaid FB community for a paid Discord feels… incongruent with what I thought were their values. On top of this, they showed little to no appreciation for the FB moderation team during this announcement. I’m not a mod myself, but I feel that those folks on FB doing that unpaid mod labor getting the news at the same time I did would’ve been a slap in the face. All that work to prop up K&D’s brand with no thank you?? Are K&D just going to mod their own Discord echo chamber for women who can pay?”
