Hi hi!
I’ve started an LGBTQIA+ Discord community for Heroes of the Storm.
discord.gg/3TVYbQd
It’s meant to be a casual environment where people can find like-minded individuals to play with. It isn’t necessary that you be LGBT to join, we only ask that people treat each-other kindly and follow the server rules.
We’re a small server (about 100 members), about 3/4ths of our members are located in North America, the other 1/4 are located in Europe.
We have active players that enjoy all game modes at all skill levels, and people regularly active in voice chat. (Though, we could really benefit from more active EU players.)
When you join, read the #rules and then visit the #verify channel and type %apply to start the application process, the bot will DM you with a series of questions and a staff member will manually review it and approve it.
What’s the point?
People tend to be more comfortable chatting and playing with people who share similar life experiences, values, and expectations. For many of us in the LGBT community, public gaming communities can be kind of toxic. It removes an element of stress and makes for an overall more enjoyable gaming experience.
[Features]
- *New* Region Roles + Channels*
- *New* Opt-in voice/chat channels for other MOBAs (Smite, League, DOTA)
- Dedicated, active, and mature AM and PM staff members.
- No @ everyone/here pings, ever.
- Opt-in hobby/interest channels (Anime, Memes, Tabletop Gaming, Music, etc)
- Active general chat channels
- Movie nights (mostly anime, but we’re open to whatever)
- Dedicated bot (and music bot) channels
- Streamer role for HotS streamers (and a self-promo channel)
- No politics or inflammatory discussions. Our focus is on gaming. No drama.
*We’ve added region specific LFG channels (and voice channels) to help make it easier for people in each region to find groups and play with eachother.
So far, we’ve gained about 80 members. Many of our new members also play DOTA and Smite together as well. In 3 weeks, I’ve had to ban 2 obvious trolls, everyone else has gotten along amazingly and it’s been a pretty fantastic experience.
The server is gated by an application process to keep out bots and low-effort trolls. This is an SFW server open to 13+.
If this is something that interests you, come hang out, play with us, meme, and chill.
