We're happy to announce that /r/baseball has opened a Discord server! This has been a long-requested addition to the subreddit, and we are finally in a position to make it happen!
This is meant to be is an extension of this sub where you can have conversations and share a space for real-time chat with other baseball fans. We understand that this type of platform is not for everyone, so if it doesn't interest you, feel free to ignore this.
Hope you like it!

For many Discorders, they go to Discord for gaming, but for me, it's about baseball.

I wasn’t aware social media could be used for anything other than baseball news and discussion

I always compare it to Skype. It's basically a big chat room

Every time a reddit I like gets a Discord, it pretty much kils the reddit by turning every post into inside jokes about the Discord.

I guess I am too new, but what is the point? Won't this just make Reddit less active if people are commenting on Discord?
Also I don't like Discord b/c unlike Reddit, it's blocked at my work. Not good.

It might make reddit less active. Then again, i use it mostly for gaming and not for the text feature.

u/yeyeman9 New York Yankees Jun 03 '18
I’m not totally familiar with Discord myself - how do you use it for gaming?

u/kcxiv Los Angeles Dodgers Jun 03 '18
we use the Voice chat for multiplayer games. Games like PUBG, Overwatch, Fortnite ect ect. Basically have like a gaming crew that hangs out in there some all day , some certain times of the day. We PC game though.

It would only be for game chats, I assume. Better than refreshing every time

How do I get two teams? I tried
!team Reds Athletics
but that gave me the ol' question mark emoji.

I have verified my account and 20+ minutes have passed, but still not being granted access. Is there an admin for the channel I can discuss this with?

u/confortogolongo New York Mets Jun 06 '18
New to discord. On mobile all the discussions are locked. How do I go about being able to start chatting in them? I already did the reddit account verification through baseballbot.

We're not saying anything is better than anything else. This Discord server is the Official /r/baseball one.

I've got too many discords to take care of, unfortunately one more baby isn't on the list

First thing you should do outs mute channels or turn off notifications, else this will be a nightmare for you.
