I have a pro/con with this situation. They were working on an app but I think I recall someone saying that Syn said that a messenger feature wasn’t very high on the priority list.
And when I created the Facebook page for the students when the site was down, many people asked for it to be left up. So I did. But then I quickly noticed that the students kept being more active on there than on the school and next thing I knew I was having to relay everything to everyone about school updates because they just went to facebook instead of the school. So I shut it down.
It’s also like how people keep messaging me outside of the school. I’m active on here every single day for almost one hour, three times a day. But for some reason, students take to messaging me on Instagram and Facebook. This site has a messaging option but hardly anyone uses it.
I personally like to see activity here. Every time another platform for communication opens the activity here drops dramatically.
And I know the team feels like shit about the hacking situation and has been working around busy schedules to try to get this school back up to where it was
So as far as the Disqord thing goes, it definitely has pros and cons.
