It's super small for now to keep it manageable. The idea is you can join text channels or (quiet, muted!) voice channels to do tasks alongside others.

How does this work? For example, you want to sit and read a book, but you keep getting distracted. Usecase 1: You can send a message in the text chat: "I'm going to read for the next 20 minutes!" and others might cheer you on, and you have some feeling of accountability :) Usecase 2: You can join the body doubling voice channel. This channel doesn't allow speaking or webcams, just quiet focus. You can read your book while feeling like you're doing it alongside the others people in the channel :)

There are chats attached to the channels if you do want to talk, so you can do so without disturbing anyone in their focus!

If you're interested, the link to join is below the cut. Please note that the server is intended for people of 18 and older and allows no NSFW content, just to make moderation manageable.
