@Member wanted to quickly say Thankyou for joining us here! This all blew up a lot quicker then I think me or anyone else was expecting. I know right now things are on the decline in our country. Authoritarian and fascist ideologies have quickly grown across all of our 50 states. We all come from different walks of life. From members of the DSA and SRA to centrist and moderates. However we are all here for one thing, to stop the downfall of democracy. Never before did I believe that so many people from so many backgrounds would ever work together to stop the rise of right wing extremism. And yet here we all are, creating our own action plans, making friends, and discussing how to be safe. I’m so proud of everyone who’s decided to step up for what they feel is right, we will stop this together. We have to. - B

@everyone As one of the discord moderators and the creator of the discord I will remove anyone who openly calls for violence. Self-defense is ok, but it is unacceptable to talk about IEDs and or violence against other groups or government members. We are better the the right wing lunatics we are working against, let’s not fall to their level. -B (edited)

Regarding #welcome-to-aif : The channel will be temporarily invisible while some issues with the verification message are resolved. Regarding the high volume of @mentions on the server: In the coming day or so I will also be adding a notifications role to server channels like #announcements and "high-ping" channels like #human-resources You can also expect a cleaner sidebar soon as the state channels will be toggleable via #role-selection in the coming day or so, which will allow for more targeted pings of groups of users by other users. Thank you all for staying with us while we figure things out - Cheers! (edited)

Hi @everyone, so as some of you might know already myself and a few other admins and moderators have come to the decision to create a new group called The White Lotus Initiative, and we want to focus more on education, getting people to vote, and community actions. One main reason for this decision was so that people who may be in a more vulnerable position and have a lot to loose if someone found out they where part of an org like iron front. For myself as a gay teacher in Florida, everything can and will be used against me. We can boil the differences between the groups down to this, AIF is more focused on common defense and protesting, while WLI is more focused on community action. I am still planning on staying and helping out as much as I can, as-well as having a direct relationship between the groups, as while we have different ideas we are both going for the same goal. If you have any questions pleas reach out, thankyou for all the support ❤️

@everyone A quick update on the state of the server- I have done a good amount of messing around with the roles today, hopefully it will help to streamline things but it will be a little rough at first. Currently I am asking everyone to go back through #role-selection to reset some roles and get some new ones. If you find that you have lost access to a state channel you were enjoying, simply react to that state or the region to gain access once again. You also continue to have the option to view all area channels, if you would like. No channels have disappeared, they are simply out of your view. Access is also not restricted, it is fully up to you I have also added pronoun roles, please pay attention to those going forward. Also some other ping/job roles that we will explain more later, and finally, an option to join the @Announcements role. Hopefully we will soon be able to transition from pinging @everyone to pinging @Announcements or another ping role, so those who don't want to be pinged don't have to be. If you have any questions or concerns, or think something isn't working properly, contact me or another mod to get it sorted. Have a good day/night everyone! (edited)

It’s Movie Night! It’s been a tough couple of months since we began this server (almost three months now, oh no!). I appreciate everyone’s passion and hard work towards reaching out to one another to figure out what we’re capable of as Iron Front. We got a lot of projects that we’re ramping up, but some R&R has been overdue. I’d encourage people to get out of an AIF mentality and just be people again. If you’d like to come hang out, we’re having a movie stream: Stream Host: Reg Starting: Sunday 6 PM PST/9 PM EST Where: Theater voice chat channel, Taking It Easy category near the #movies channel Please pick a movie to watch from the poll: -Django -Mad Max: Fury Road -Top Gun: Maverick https://www.supersurvey.com/poll4477045xe1d74065-140

@everyone sorry for the mass ping, but we have something that needs the strength of AIF! A Flyer Drive!: In at least 10 cities (and any number of additional small towns), one or preferably more people will put up flyers all on the same day around the city. Participants will need to have a way to obtain printed flyers, either from a personal printer or by sharing with other AIF members. These flyers will help to recruit, and the action can also be shared on social media. This can be an easy way to get involved with AIF actions if you haven't before, and meet people in your area. Once we have identified at least 10 cities people can do it in, we can decide a date for the flyering, and get to work! -Idea credit to @joe hill’s revenge , the unofficial project manager. If you are willing to participate in this event and put up flyers, please react to this message with American_Iron_Front_Emblem. You will then gain access to a special channel #flyer-drive , where more info about the event will be shared. (edited)

In regards to the recent accusations of transphobia on the subreddit: Now, I'm not entirely convinced that there's transphobia going on, seeing as the comment posted is entirely without context of the garbage graffiti stuck figure in the image. Could be someone shitstirring, or genuine, or someone being overly sensitive. I don't know enough yet about the person posting. Given the number of other channels that nothing remotely like that has been said, the number of times AIF has quietly or overtly helped the community, and people I know are LGBTQ+ who are part of AIF, I don't think this kind of accusation holds a lot of water, also considering that the person went with a cropped screenshot to the Reddit to bring attention to it without mentioning it on the discord first. I would encourage everyone to take a second to read their comments over before posting. I asked @Skullmaggot and @WojtektheBear to take a look and chime in, just because this seems like there's no malice and wasn't intended as a shot at the LGBTQ+ community. The offending comments were deleted, the person responsible had a consequence, and I reached out to the person who complained. Their responses were, well... Let's say they probably won't change their mind and don't like AIF. In any case, I'll reiterate the point: Please pause and read what you are going to post before you hit that send button. Additionally, if you believe someone has said something that is offensive or rubs you the wrong way, please be an adult about it and address it with the person either on the Discord, or in DMs, and do not run to try and air dirty laundry publicly without any sort of explanation or attempt to allow the offender to make it right.

Hey Admins and Mods, Beginning on March 31, over the next several weeks we will start to roll out a new feature called Soundboard. This feature will let users upload custom short sounds to their servers, and then use those sounds to communicate in Voice Channels. Click here to learn more about soundboard: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/12612888127767-Soundboard-FAQ#h_01GTYZSTZQV1GXSRVX1A420WPX To help you keep your server safe, we have already released some new permissions around Soundboard. You can now access and configure these permissions directly from Server Settings:
  • Use Soundboard: Determines who in your server is able to use soundboard.
  • Manage Expressions: Determines who in your server is able to upload and manage sounds. Visit the help center article linked above to read more about Soundboard permissions! Peace and Love,

Hey Admins and Mods, Since 2015, every Discord username has been cAsE sEnSitIvE and had a number attached to it called a discriminator (e.g., #0001). This lets you have the same username as someone else as long as you have different discriminators or different case letters. However, this also means you have to remember a set of 4-digit numbers and account for case sensitivity to connect with your friends. ✨We wanted to make it easier for you to identify and add your friends while preserving your ability to use your preferred name across Discord. So, we are removing discriminators and introducing new, unique usernames and display names.💠 New usernames are lowercase, alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have discriminators, making them easier to remember, read, type, and share. Now, rather than having to remember “PhiBi#8936,” you just say “I'm phibiscool” and that’s it. Your new username will be unique to you, and when friends try to add you there won’t be any mistakes of the wrong discriminator or incorrect letter casing. 💠 Display names are what’s shown both to your friends and in communities. Think of them as server nicknames that work globally across Discord. You can change it whenever you want, and it can be whatever you want, including special characters, as long as it follows our Community Guidelines https://discord.com/guidelines. If a username you were eyeing gets taken before you can claim it, no worries — you can still use it as a display name. 📩 When you’re eligible to change your old username and claim a new username, you’ll be notified in-app. The older your Discord account, the sooner you will become eligible to pick a new username. 📩 Visit our blog https://discord.com/blog/usernames to hear from one of our founders about why usernames are changing.

@Announcements Rescheduled Public Meeting Date: Sunday 5/21 When: 4 PM PST/7 PM EST (Note that the time is different from the regular biweekly meeting.) Where: Meeting Room voice chat channel Topics: “everyone does everything" - choosing a project focus If you have ideas for a project focus, message me/write something up to present. I want to see if we can limit our attention and chose a single focus for the next month. This might be something like Ian H.'s summer plans, for example. We have eager people who are spread out across multiple projects and we could do with more coordination, narrowing our focus, and building up a generalized core of involvement. We can have useful discussion and action around a single project for each month and then rotate from project to project. Projects should have something like: 1. Everybody (or enough of a core set of people) agrees to focus on only one project at a time. 2. Each project has a knowledgeable head that can provide direction. 3. A project has a plan for what tasks need to be completed and a deadline (let's say 4 weeks). 4. People vote on a project to focus on. 5. People implement the project. This is a guess about how to proceed, not a necessity. If you have other ideas that would improve coordination to accomplish goals, bring it up at the meeting. (edited)

@Announcements Flyer Drive! What: People are posting Iron Front flyers across the nation as a show of force and as a recruiting opportunity. Flyers should have a QR code for the new website. Refer to the flyer-drive channel for more info. (You need the Flyer Drive role to access the channel.) This is a good starter assignment and we could use as many people as possible. Refer to Ian H. if you need help. When: D-Day is Friday the 9th to Sunday the 11th, second weekend of the month

Hey Mods and Admins, We're here with an update to make it more clear how we categorize the different types of servers, how to recognize them, and what you can expect in those spaces. 💠 Friend Server Friend Servers are invite-only spaces designed to discuss, connect, and share with your friends or smaller groups. Invite links in Friend servers will expire at a maximum of 30 days, though previously created non-expiring links will remain active and functional. Friend Servers who wish to have access to Community features https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047132851-Enabling-Your-Community-Server may opt-in to become a Community Server at any time in server settings. 💠Community Server Community Servers are spaces designed for people to share, connect, and learn from others all over the world who share common interests. Moderators in Community Servers have access to tools like Server Insights, Raid Protection, Rules, and Onboarding. Becoming a Community Server does not mean that anyone can find or join your server. Prospective members have to be sent an invite link. 💠Updating Server Badging In order for users to know what type of server they’re in, we’ve introduced badges for Community Servers. We will display a distinct server badge if the server is a
  • Community Server
  • Discoverable Community
  • Partnered Server
  • Verified Server Hovering over the badge will provide more detailed information about the server type, whether anyone can join the server, and the Boost level. Communities that previously had the “Public” tag will now have a “Discoverable Community” badge (denoted by a globe). For more information on our approach to safety across server types, please visit our Safety Center. https://discord.com/safety/360043709612-our-policies

@Announcements Public Meeting Date: Sunday 7/9 When: 2 PM PST/5 PM EST (This is not the usual time. People's schedules have been shifting and we ought to choose a new time for the biweekly meeting. So, this week will be off-kilter, and I'll also try to hang out in the 🔊Lounge Saturday and Sunday evening. I was trying to sort this out earlier in the week, so I apologize for the late announcement.) Where: Meeting Room voice chat channel Topics: core tracking fascists project (getting started+tools)

Server Guide is coming to all communities

Server Guide is a dedicated space within your community that points members to essential parts of your space and encourages them to participate. Many admins who have already set theirs up are seeing big bumps in member engagement. nitroup Here are some of the features in the Server Guide that might boost your member activity. ➡️ Welcome Sign: A custom message from you to new members, placed at the top. star New Member To Do's 3-5 next steps for new members that get them talking and participating in your community. star Resources: Declutter your server by turning read-only channels into fancy, easy-to-digest pages with images you upload (so make sure to upload an image) Another perk: Members land at the top of these Resource pages instead of the bottom of a message thread, and message bars and avatars are removed so it looks cleaner. Otherwise, your content, embeds, media, and formatting stay the same.

That’s not all. 2 more updates to make moderation better!

🤖 Automod for Profiles Sometimes bad actors set their display names in a way that breaks the rules. Automod will allow you to block specific language in a member's profile, preventing them from interacting with others in your community until they update their profile. 🚫 Remove Reactions by Emoji Instead of removing all reactions from a post or individually deleting them, you can select the emojis you want to remove.

Sorry, I've been slow about updating the #rules to include the new Code of Conduct that was drafted this June. Rules have now been updated.
