hi guys!˙˚˙ᵕ꒳ᵕ˙˚˙‧̍̊
welcome to the ibdp 2022 discord server!
for those of you new to discord, who’ve never had it before or don’t use it often, this is the channel for you!
first up: navigation
one of discords best features is its channels! using the left menu (accessible from the hamburger button at the top left if on mobile, or swiping it open), you can see the name of the server, all the text channels, and the voice channels!
please try to direct messages into the correct channels. there are ones for introduction, which you don’t need to message in but should read, and then the general channels (for complaining, topics all ib students can relate to, etc), and class-specific channels.
the voice channels are there as well, with channel names that can direct you to the correct place! if you have a hard math test tomorrow, hit study room 1 with the other aa kids!
to use the voice chat, just click on it and enter!
next: server specifics
you will get a nickname in the server- your first name and last initial. you also will select a role that indicates your preferred pronouns, so we all can be respectful.
you can have any profile picture and status (both of which are accessible and editable from your account page, the far right button on the bottom on mobile) you’d like.
you can reach out to any of the admins if you need anything. if someone isn’t respecting your pronouns, is causing issues outside of the discourse channel, or is just generally being a dick, privately message one of us (i’m the most approachable (๑･̑◡･̑๑)) and we’ll address it. hopefully this won’t be an issue !!
fun things!
discord has lots of text editing features, such as italics, bold and spoilers. italics are done by putting * on either side of your statement. bold is the same, just with ** instead of *. spoilers use || on either side, and can be clicked to reveal the text beneath. (edited)
